Ways Notis can move work from Google Docs to Google Sheets
Log new Google Docs in an intake register
Add each newly created Google Doc to a Google Sheets register with its title, link, creation time, and a concise purpose summary.
Track changes to Docs matching a search
When a document matching your Google Docs search is created or updated, append its latest title, link, and update time to a Sheets change log.
Find the tracker row for an updated Doc
When a Google Doc changes, look up its exact title in a Sheets tracker so Notis can identify the existing row for follow-up.
Log completed document templates
When a configured placeholder disappears from a Google Doc, append the document and completion signal to a Sheets template register.
Measure documents crossing a length threshold
When a watched Google Doc reaches its configured word or character threshold, aggregate matching metrics in a Sheets tracker for a quick size check.
Log a first keyword signal from a Doc
When a watched phrase first appears in a Google Doc, append the document link and keyword signal to a Sheets review log.
Review structural changes to Docs
When a watched Doc gains or loses structural elements, append its title, link, and change signal to a Sheets review queue.
Mark deleted Docs in a Sheets register
When a Google Doc is moved to trash, format its existing register entry as a deletion signal so it stands out during review.
Create a review spreadsheet for a new Doc
When a new Google Doc is created, create a dedicated Google Sheet named for its review and capture the document link and title in the spreadsheet.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Google Sheets actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
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.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
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
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified a1 notation range in a google spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
