Move signup updates from a sheet into ActiveTrail
When a signup range changes, Notis can use the updated information to add the intended contact to the group you name. Set the rule for what counts as a complete signup in your instruction.
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
Add Group Member
Tool to add a member to a group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a contact to a specific group with their email and optional contact details.
Why this helps
A signup recorded in a shared sheet can be easy to miss when the next step is adding that person to an email group.
- Respond to relevant range changes without checking the sheet repeatedly.
- Keep group membership tied to the signup process you describe.
- Reduce interruptions for routine list updates.

- 1Connect Google Sheets and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the spreadsheet range, specify the ActiveTrail group, and describe which changed values represent a ready signup.
- 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real range update and confirm the member in ActiveTrail.
