Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find worksheet by title
Finds a worksheet by its exact, case-sensitive title within a google spreadsheet; returns a boolean indicating if found and the complete metadata of the entire spreadsheet, regardless of whether the target worksheet is found.
Why this helps
Missing or inconsistently named tabs can interrupt a simple device data routine.
- Confirm whether a named worksheet exists
- Catch naming mismatches early
- Get spreadsheet metadata alongside the check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the worksheet check.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the exact worksheet title in each webhook exists in the specified spreadsheet and report the result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a webhook that names an existing worksheet and one that names a missing worksheet.
