Notis

Bring related records into a Google Doc update

A changed Doc may affect decisions already recorded elsewhere. Surface related indexed records while the update is fresh.

Trigger

Document Updated

Triggers when an existing document is updated or modified.

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

Important changes can be easy to miss when supporting decisions and records live in a separate search system.

  • Promptly surface related indexed records after a Doc changes.
  • Make review easier with a short summary of matches.
  • Keep document follow-up in one run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Elasticsearch once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to search a specified index for records related to each updated Doc and summarize matches for review.
  • 4Choose Document Updated as the trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real document update.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow compare the old and new document versions?

The listed trigger is described as monitoring updated documents, but it does not promise previous document contents. Supply any comparison baseline you need.

Can it update matching Elasticsearch records?

No. The available Elasticsearch action can query an index, but cannot update records.
