Publish a branded link for every approved new Google Doc
Move a document from draft to shareable link without opening another dashboard.
Trigger
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
Action
Upsert a Link
Tool to create or update a short link in Dub. Use when you need to create a new short link or update an existing one. If the link already exists (matching domain and key), it will be updated; otherwise, a new link will be created.
Why this helps
Approved documents often wait in folders while someone manually creates and checks the share link.
- Publishes approved documents quickly
- Keeps one consistent branded URL
- Reduces manual link setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Dub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Publish approved document link.
- 3Tell Notis to find the document URL and approval marker, then upsert a Dub link with a clear key.
- 4Pick New Document Created as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one approved document.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know a document is approved?
Tell it the approval marker or phrase used by your team in the automation instruction.
Can the link be updated later?
Yes. The workflow uses Dub upsert behavior for the chosen domain and key.
