Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Currents api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Currents api actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
List Latest News

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Activities Watch
Tool to start a notification channel to watch activities for a specified user and application. Use when needing to receive push notifications for user activity; call after OAuth credentials and webhook endpoint are set up.
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.
Get Entity Usage Reports
Tool to retrieve usage statistics for a specific Google Workspace entity. Use when you need to analyze entity usage on a particular date.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
List Users
Tool to list users in a Google Workspace domain. Note: - When the provided base_url points to Currents News API (api.currentsapi.services), this action will gracefully fall back to listing latest news articles to ensure a valid response, since the Currents News API does not expose a users endpoint. - When the base_url points to Google Admin Directory API, it will list users from the domain/customer specified.
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.
Get User Usage Report
Tool to retrieve the usage report for a specified user on a given date. Use after confirming the userKey and date. Use when detailed usage metrics are needed for auditing or monitoring.
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
Document Updated
