Why this helps

A scheduled research routine loses time when the target workbook or tabs have changed.

  • Review workbook metadata before research
  • Catch workbook changes earlier
  • Keep recurring research routines predictable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bigdata.com MCP and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Weekly Research Workbook Check.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the specified spreadsheet's metadata, check the workbook context, and research the listed companies for the weekly review.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with the actual workbook and confirm the returned metadata is useful.

Questions about this workflow

Does metadata include cell values?

No. This action retrieves spreadsheet metadata and excludes cell data.
