Launch Appdrag from a Google Doc Keyword
A single phrase in a document can start the right backend action.
Trigger
Keyword Detected in Document
Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset.
Action
