Create a ready-to-review document sheet on schedule
Start each scheduled review with a new sheet populated from the document details available to Notis.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create sheet from JSON
Creates a new google spreadsheet and populates its first worksheet from `sheet json`, which must be non-empty as its first item's keys establish the headers.
Why this helps
Preparing a fresh review workbook and entering the starting information can add friction before the actual review begins.
- Create a new spreadsheet with its first worksheet populated.
- Use provided document data to establish useful headers.
- Reduce setup steps before recurring reviews.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and instruct Notis to create a spreadsheet from available document data in JSON form.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real example and ensure the provided JSON is non-empty and has the intended keys.
Questions about this workflow
Does the JSON determine the column headers?
Yes. The first item's keys in the non-empty sheet JSON establish the headers.
Will this include data from documents not available to Notis?
No. The JSON must be built from document data available to the automation.
