Review a Doc when its structure changes
A new table, header, footer, or image can affect how a document reads. Have Notis prepare a quick visual review request when structure changes.
Trigger
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Layout changes can alter meaning or usability without standing out in a routine text review.
- Calls attention to changes in document structure
- Prepares a reviewer prompt with the Doc link
- Helps catch layout impacts before sharing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the structure review.
- 3Tell Notis to draft a review request when the monitored Doc structure changes; pick Document Structure Changed and identify the Doc and review recipient or rule.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real structural change.
Questions about this workflow
Which changes can trigger this?
The event monitors structural changes such as headers or footers being added or removed and table or image counts changing.
Can the email explain the exact change?
Tell Notis what context to include. The event description guarantees a structure change, but does not promise a detailed change history.
