Keep a document link current after every update
Let routine edits refresh the link people already use.
Trigger
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
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
Teams keep sharing an old destination or outdated link metadata after a document revision.
- Keeps shared destinations current
- Preserves a stable short URL
- Cuts repetitive link edits
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Dub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Refresh updated document destination.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the document's existing Dub link and upsert it with the latest URL and title.
- 4Pick Document Updated as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one revised document.
Questions about this workflow
Will the short URL change?
No. Upsert can preserve the existing domain and key while updating its destination.
Can metadata change too?
Yes. Include the title or other supported updates in the instruction.
