Start a deadline after an approval record changes
Use a real record modification as the precise handoff into urgency tracking.
Trigger
OneDrive Item Updated Trigger
Triggers when an existing file or folder is modified in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management and only detects actual modifications, not new creations.
Action
Start Deadline via Custom Webhook
Tool to start an individual subscriber’s deadline tracking via a custom webhook URL. Use after generating a campaign-specific webhook token. Example: StartDeadlineCustomWebhook(account_id='123456', token='abcdef', email='joe@example.com')
Why this helps
Approval updates can be missed when teams rely on broad file activity notifications.
- React to actual modifications only
- Avoid triggering on new draft files
- Keep approval and timer start connected

- 3Tell Notis to check the modified record for approval, subscriber email, and campaign token, then start the Deadline Funnel deadline.
