Check that the service run worksheet exists
Catch a missing destination tab before a process expects to use it.
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
A report can be delayed when a service assumes a worksheet exists but the tab was renamed or removed.
- Confirm the expected tab is present
- Return sheet metadata for review
- Surface a missing tab while the request is still in context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the sheet check.
- 3Tell Notis to check for the worksheet title included in the request in the specified spreadsheet.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request for an existing tab and one for a missing tab.
