Trigger

Action
Batch Get Spreadsheet Values by Data Filter
Tool to return one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet that match the specified data filters. use when you need to retrieve specific data sets based on filtering criteria rather than entire sheets or fixed ranges.
Why this helps
Large course sheets make it harder to locate the details needed for one immediate task.
- Retrieve a focused set of values
- Cut down manual sheet scanning
- Support targeted course follow-up
