Add repository documentation when planning grows
As planning expands, pull in the technical context that keeps the work grounded.
Trigger
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
Action
Read wiki contents
View documentation about a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
Long planning documents can outgrow the team's shared understanding of how the repository works.
- Add technical context at a clear signal point
- Reduce late documentation discovery
- Support better scope conversations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Devin MCP in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for documents crossing your chosen threshold.
- 3Tell Notis to ask Devin for wiki contents relevant to the document's scope and summarize the most useful guidance.
- 4Pick Document Word Count Threshold as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with a document that crosses the threshold.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a character threshold instead?
Yes. The trigger supports a user-defined word or character count.
What if the repository is not named in the document?
Include the repository in the automation instruction so Devin knows what to read.

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.
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.
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
