Start new Docs with a persisted Contentful brief
Give every new document the same fast, reliable source brief.
Trigger
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Teams repeatedly assemble the same product context before they can begin writing.
- Standardize document kickoff
- Return familiar context quickly
- Reduce repeated research
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Contentful graphql once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for new document briefs.
- 3Tell Notis to run your persisted Contentful query and summarize the returned entries for the new document.
- 4Pick New Document Created as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one new document.
Questions about this workflow
Can the same query serve every new document?
Yes, use a standard persisted query when the required context is consistent.
Can variables depend on the document?
Yes, instruct Notis to derive approved variables from the document title or text.

Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
