Keep the structure of your BrowserAct reporting sheet visible
Make recurring file and worksheet checks part of a calm reporting routine.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get spreadsheet info
Retrieves comprehensive metadata for a google spreadsheet using its id, excluding cell data.
Why this helps
A renamed or reorganized reporting file can disrupt recurring reviews before anyone notices.
- Review spreadsheet metadata regularly
- Notice unexpected file changes sooner
- Keep reporting routines easier to maintain
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowserAct and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation called BrowserAct Spreadsheet Health Check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve spreadsheet metadata and report relevant changes against any baseline you provide.
- 4Pick a Notis recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real spreadsheet and review the metadata report.
Questions about this workflow
Can it detect a rename without a baseline?
Not reliably. Provide the expected title or other baseline information for Notis to compare.
Does this read cell contents?
No. This action retrieves spreadsheet metadata and excludes cell data.
