Deploy config files from completed Google Doc templates
A completed request can move configuration to the right servers without another handoff.
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
Create Config File Deployment
Tool to create a new config file deployment for a project. Use when you need to deploy only configuration files to a server or server group without deploying code changes.
Why this helps
Configuration requests are approved in documents but still require a manual deployment step.
- Acts on confirmed completion
- Shortens release handoffs
- Creates a repeatable launch path

- 1Connect Google Docs and DeployHQ once.
