Generate a final PDF when a Google Doc is complete
As soon as the last placeholder is filled, produce the final document automatically.
Trigger
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.
Action
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.
Why this helps
Completed documents wait in shared folders because nobody remembers the final export step.
- Remove the manual export step
- Create a consistent final artifact
- Keep completion tied to the document state
