Create your own Browse AI and Google Docs workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
6 triggers, queries, and actions
Monitor detected a change
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This trigger fires when your Browse AI robot captures data that's different from its previous run, for example when a monitor checks a page and finds a change.
New document added
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.

This trigger fires when your Browse AI robot finishes a task, whether a monitor, the dashboard, or the API started it. Choose successful tasks, failed tasks, or both.
