When a spreadsheet's metadata shifts, get the relevant Affinity list details in a run report for a quick process check.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed

Why this helps
Changes to spreadsheet structure or properties can leave people unsure whether their Affinity list process still fits.
- Prompt a process review when spreadsheet metadata changes
- Keep relevant Affinity list details close to the change
- Support clearer operational handoffs

- 3Describe which spreadsheet metadata change should prompt Notis to retrieve and summarize a specified Affinity list's metadata.
- 4Pick the Spreadsheet Metadata Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and review the report.
