Find indexed context when a key phrase first appears

A phrase worth tracking has appeared in a document. Search related indexed records and bring them into the review.

Trigger

Keyword Detected in Document

Triggers the first time a specified word or phrase appears in a document.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

A new commitment, customer, or project term can appear in a Doc without prompting anyone to look for related records.

  • Make a tracked phrase a prompt for context gathering.
  • Find potentially related records early.
  • Reduce manual follow-up after important terms surface.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to search a chosen index for records related to the detected phrase and document.
  • 3Pick the Keyword Detected in Document trigger and specify the phrase.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real document containing the phrase.

Questions about this workflow

Will it trigger every time the phrase appears?

The listed trigger fires the first time the keyword is detected and will not fire again until reset.

Can it search for a phrase that is not in the event details?

Specify the phrase in the trigger setup and use the event's available document details to guide the Elasticsearch query.
