Understand the package table before querying it
See the column names and inferred types before asking questions of the data.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Table Schema
Retrieves a table’s schema from a spreadsheet.
Why this helps
Queries are harder to write when the table's columns and constraints are unclear.
- Inspect inferred column names and types.
- Prepare more reliable table queries.
- Catch changes in spreadsheet structure during review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets once in the Notis portal and confirm the table exists.
- 2Create an automation named Package table schema check.
- 3Tell Notis which table to inspect and to summarize its columns, types, and constraints.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with the real table and check that the inferred schema is understandable.
Questions about this workflow
Does this return the table's rows?
No. It analyzes table structure and infers column information from sample data.
Can inferred types be wrong?
Inference is based on statistical analysis of sample data. Check the result against the actual sheet before relying on it.
