Regenerate PDFs after structure changes
Layout changes become updated PDFs without another checklist item.
Trigger
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
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
A document can look different after structural edits while its exported PDF stays stale.
- Keep exports aligned with layouts
- Catch structural edits
- Reduce stale deliverables

- 2Create an automation named Structure Change PDF.
- 3Tell Notis to regenerate a PDF that reflects the latest document structure.

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.
Download Async Document
Tool to download a completed asynchronous document using the download URL from status response. Use when you have a download_id and need to retrieve the generated document file.
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.
Get Async Document Status
Tool to check the status of an asynchronously created document. Use when monitoring progress of async documents by polling for completion status.
