Notis

Use an approval phrase to hand off a gift

Add your chosen phrase when the decision is final, and let Notis check the gift details before acting.

Trigger

Keyword Detected in Document

Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset.

Action

Search Non-Profits

Tool to search non-profit organizations by cause id and query text. use when you need to find nonprofits matching a search term or a specific cause.

Why this helps

A final decision can be hard to distinguish from earlier brainstorming in a living document.

  • Use a phrase you choose to mark a final decision.
  • Require recipient and amount details in the document.
  • Keep the gift action tied to a one-time keyword event.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Daffy once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for explicit gift approvals.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a gift only when the configured phrase appears and recipient and amount are present, otherwise report missing details.
  • 4Pick Keyword Detected in Document as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real document and the exact phrase you configured.

Questions about this workflow

Can the keyword be chosen for this automation?

Yes. Configure the trigger's keyword or phrase, then refer to that same phrase in the instruction.

Will this create more than one gift for repeated edits?

The listed keyword trigger fires once when the phrase is detected and does not fire again until reset.
