Check air quality when a city is added to Sheets

Add a city to your sheet and have Notis fetch its current air quality for you.

Trigger

New Rows in Google Sheet

Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.

Action

Get Air Quality by City

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use when you have a valid city name and need current aqi and pollutant levels.

Why this helps

City research gets missed when new locations are added to a sheet during a busy day.

  • Get current AQI and pollutant levels for each new city entry.
  • Reduce manual lookups when reviewing locations.
  • Keep the lookup tied to the new sheet entry.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Ambee once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Describe that each new row with a valid city should trigger a current Ambee air quality lookup.
  • 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real row containing a city.

Questions about this workflow

What should the new row contain?

Include a valid city name so Ambee can look up its current air quality.

Does this workflow add results back to the sheet?

The configured action retrieves air quality data. Updating the sheet would require a separate action, which is not included here.
