Notis

Check every new Google Doc against your Elasticsearch index

A new document can repeat work that already exists in your search index. Get likely matches while the context is fresh.

Trigger

New Document Created

Triggers when a new document is created.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

Founders lose time recreating research or decisions because related records are buried in a large index.

  • Surface likely existing records for a quick human check.
  • Reduce repeated research and duplicate notes.
  • Keep the review attached to the document creation event.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and name it, then tell Notis to search a chosen index for records similar to each new document and report likely matches.
  • 3Pick the New Document Created trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real document and confirm the reported matches are useful.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automation add the Google Doc to Elasticsearch?

No. The available Elasticsearch action searches an index; it does not create or update records.

What information does it compare?

Notis can use details available from the Google Docs event. Tell it which index and matching criteria to use, and verify results with a real example.
