Check review status when a document is filled

Turn a completed document handoff into a clear review snapshot.

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

List Comparisons

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of document comparisons. use when you need to browse comparisons across pages.

Why this helps

A filled template can signal readiness, but related comparison work is easy to miss in a separate tool.

  • Catches review work at the right handoff
  • Avoids manual queue checks
  • Creates a concise completion report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Draftable in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that lists Draftable comparisons when the specified placeholder is filled and explains which entries need attention.
  • 3Pick the Google Docs Document Placeholder Filled trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel, then test by filling one real placeholder.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use a custom placeholder token?

Yes. Include the exact token or pattern in the automation instruction when you create it.

Will it report every comparison?

It can summarize the returned page and focus on comparisons matching the criteria you describe.
