Turn completed briefs into Curated drafts
Fill in the brief once, then let Notis prepare the newsletter draft for your review.
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

Why this helps
Completed briefs often wait in a queue because turning them into issues requires another manual pass.
- Creates a clear handoff from planning to drafting
- Preserves the brief's context
- Makes publishing momentum easier to maintain
