Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Productboard. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Docs triggers

Productboard actions

New Document Created

Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.

TriggerPolling

Add Note Followers

Tool to add multiple followers to a Productboard note. Use when you need to bulk-add existing users as followers to a specific note by their email addresses.

ActionInstant

Document Deleted

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.

TriggerPolling

Add Note Tag

Adds a tag to a Productboard note for categorization and organization. Use this action to apply tags to notes based on their content, priority, source, or any other classification criteria. Tags help organize and filter notes in Productboard. If the specified tag doesn't exist in the workspace, it will be automatically created. Tags are case-sensitive. Common use cases: - Categorize notes by priority (e.g., "Urgent", "High Priority") - Label feature requests vs. bugs (e.g., "feature-request", "bug") - Mark notes for review stages (e.g., "needs review", "approved") - Associate notes with time periods (e.g., "Q1-2026", "Sprint-5")

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
