Find Accredible collections from a spreadsheet update

When a credential plan changes, quickly check whether a relevant collection already exists.

Trigger

Cell Range Values Changed

Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.

Action

Search Collections

Tool to search for collections. use when you need to filter collections by ids, name, or public flag and paginate through results. e.g., "search for public collections named 'abc' on page 2."

Why this helps

Checking whether a collection exists can interrupt planning and lead to duplicate or delayed setup work.

  • Search collections when a planning range changes.
  • Use supplied collection IDs, names, or public status as search criteria.
  • Return matches for review before creating anything new.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Accredible certificates once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to search collections using the criteria supplied in the changed range and summarize the matches.
  • 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real update that includes collection search criteria.
