I need to use Edit event on Google Doc, but the only trigger that i found was onOpen: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/events#google_docs_events. Is there any solution to check instantly the changes made by user in the Doc, not using deprecated The Realtime API and pulling the document or adding submit button?

Unfortunately there are no onEdit(), onChange() triggers for Google Docs.

The triggers available for Google Docs are the following:

  • onOpen() triggers both simple and installable;

  • time driven triggers;

  • onInstall() simple triggers.

What you can do instead is file a Feature Request on Issue Tracker where you specify the details needed.
