Clear a specified range from a recruiting sheet
Make a deliberate cleanup request and clear the values from the range you identify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified a1 notation range in a google spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
Why this helps
Old spreadsheet values can linger after a tracker no longer needs them, creating extra cleanup work.
- Clear specified values on request
- Preserve existing formatting and notes
- Make cleanup steps easier to repeat

- 3Describe the exact spreadsheet range to clear in one instruction.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the request identifies the intended range.
Questions about this workflow
Does clearing values delete the worksheet?
No. The action clears cell content in the specified range while preserving formatting and notes.
Can it decide which data should be cleared?
Specify the range in the request or instruction. Do not rely on unavailable retention dates or policies; provide those criteria yourself.
