Verify a Datascope reference when a placeholder is filled
Complete the document and confirm its reference data in the same motion.
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
Get List Element
Tool to retrieve a specific element from a metadata list by type and ID. Use when you need to fetch detailed information about a specific list element such as locations, products, or other metadata objects.
Why this helps
A completed section can quietly use an outdated product, customer, or location record.
- Catches outdated references
- Creates a clear completion checkpoint
- Reduces manual record searches
