Track documented launch milestones in Databox
Record a launch milestone in Google Docs and let Notis push the agreed details into Databox, without another manual reporting pass.
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
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
Why this helps
Launch progress gets scattered across documents, making it hard to keep a shared milestone view current.
- Capture a documented milestone at the point its keyword appears.
- Reduce context switching between launch notes and reporting.
- Use a supplied milestone schema to keep records consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that extracts the named milestone details and pushes a record to a supplied Databox dataset ID.
- 3Pick the Keyword Detected in Document trigger and specify the keyword and document.
- 4Choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real milestone document and confirm the resulting record.
Questions about this workflow
Will it trigger again for later edits?
The keyword trigger fires once when the keyword is detected and will not fire again until reset.
Can it calculate milestone status?
It can interpret details present in the document, but any baseline or status rule not stated there must be supplied in the automation instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Databox. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Databox actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Data Source
Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters.
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.
Delete Dataset
Tool to delete a dataset by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a dataset. This operation is irreversible.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Delete Data Source
Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets.
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 Dataset Ingestion Status
Tool to check the status of a specific data ingestion for a dataset. Use when you need to verify whether a data ingestion was successful by providing the dataset ID and ingestion ID returned from the initial POST request.
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.
List Accounts
Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation.
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
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
