Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps

- Finds spreadsheets using search filters such as name or content.
- Makes a recurring lookup easy to repeat.
- Reduces time spent reopening and scanning Drive.

- 1Connect Api labz and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name the recurring spreadsheet lookup.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis what spreadsheet name or content to search for and how to summarize matches.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real search and confirm the returned spreadsheet is the one you need.
