Action
Get Table Schema
This action is used to get the schema of a table in a google spreadsheet, call this action to get the schema of a table in a spreadsheet before you query the table. analyze table structure and infer column names, types, and constraints. uses statistical analysis of sample data to determine the most likely data type for each column. call this action after calling the list tables action to get the schema of a table in a spreadsheet.
Why this helps
Spreadsheet tables can shift over time, making it harder to know whether a query still fits the data.
- Review inferred names, types, and constraints.
- Notice structural changes in a spreadsheet table.
- Prepare for queries with a current view of table structure.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and name it for the schema review.
- 3Tell Notis which spreadsheet and table to inspect and ask it to report the detected schema.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real spreadsheet and check that the detected schema reflects its current table.
