Check repository context when a document is deleted
A deleted planning artifact can still signal a change worth understanding.
Trigger
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Deleting a doc can remove visible context while related repository work continues without a clear explanation.
- Create a deliberate follow-up for discarded plans
- Surface repository work that may need clarification
- Reduce silent loss of project context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Devin MCP in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for trashed documents.
- 3Tell Notis to ask Devin what repository areas or documentation should be checked when the deleted document represented active work.
- 4Pick Document Deleted as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test by moving one safe document to trash.
Questions about this workflow
Does Devin recover the deleted document?
No. The action asks a repository question using the context you make available in the instruction.
Can this run only for selected documents?
Monitor a specific document or add clear identifying context in the automation prompt.
