Keep an inventory of reporting sheet tabs
See the worksheet names in a report without opening the spreadsheet and clicking through tabs.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get sheet names
Lists all worksheet names from a specified google spreadsheet (which must exist), useful for discovering sheets before further operations.
Why this helps
Teams can lose track of which tabs exist in a shared reporting spreadsheet.
- See current worksheet names in one run report
- Spot unexpected tab changes during routine review
- Avoid opening a spreadsheet just to inspect its structure

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the tab inventory.
- 3Tell Notis to list the worksheet names for the specified reporting spreadsheet.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
