Find relevant Algolia rules from sheet changes
When tracked terms change, get the related Algolia rules surfaced in a run report for quick review.
Trigger
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
Action
Search Rules
Tool to search for rules in the specified index. use when you need to retrieve rules matching a query, filtering by anchoring, context, pagination, or enabled status.
Why this helps
Rule reviews often fall behind when teams have to remember to cross-check spreadsheet changes in Algolia.
- Bring rule review into the same workflow as tracked sheet changes.
- Search rules using terms emitted by the filtered range trigger.
- Get matches delivered through the automation report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to search the specified Algolia index's rules using changed matched terms and summarize the matches.
- 4Pick Filtered Range Values Changed as the trigger and select the data filter in the trigger picker.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real matching change.

Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Clicked Object IDs After Search
Tool to send a click event after a search response. use when you want to report which items a user clicked in search results.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Converted Object IDs
Tool to send a conversion event for items outside of search context. use when tracking conversions on category pages or external flows unrelated to algolia search.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
