Update Control D rules from a finalized document
When the last approval placeholder disappears, apply the finalized rule changes in Control D.
Trigger
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.
Action
Modify Custom Rules for Profile
Tool to modify existing custom rule(s) for a profile. Use when you need to update rule details such as name, description, severity, or enabled status. Ensure to include the rule IDs to modify.
Why this helps

- Reduce approval follow-up
