Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Google Docs to Daffy

View example

Find charities from a new research doc

When a new Google Doc captures a giving idea, search Daffy for nonprofits matching its cause and terms.

View example

Verify nonprofit details from giving docs

When a matching giving document changes, look up its stated nonprofit EIN in Daffy for a detail check.

View example

Prepare a gift from an updated plan

When a giving plan changes, use its explicit recipient and amount to prepare a Daffy gift only when the instruction confirms it is approved.

View example

Create a gift when a donation brief is complete

When a configured placeholder is filled in a Google Doc, create a Daffy gift only if the completed brief explicitly approves it and includes recipient and amount.

View example

Check Daffy balance when a plan reaches its threshold

When a giving plan crosses its configured word or character threshold, retrieve your Daffy fund balance to support planning.

View example

Create a gift after an approval keyword appears

When a configured phrase first appears in a Google Doc, create a Daffy gift only if that document also contains recipient and amount details.

View example

Review donation history alongside matching plans

When a matching Google Doc is created or updated, retrieve Daffy donation history for context while reviewing your plan.

View example

Check contribution history when giving guidance changes

When a giving guidance document changes, retrieve Daffy contributions to help review it against available funding history.

View example

Add donor profile context to a giving plan review

When a giving plan changes, retrieve your Daffy profile and include relevant returned details in the review report.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
