Track incident language in Datadog

Make emerging incident signals visible before they are lost in notes.

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

Create event

Why this helps

  • Creates an audit trail
  • Connects notes to observability
