Review weather context when spreadsheet metadata changes
Use a broader spreadsheet metadata update to prompt a concise look at the latest Ambient Weather device data you can use in your review.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Action
Get Devices
Tool to retrieve a list of user's ambient weather devices with their most recent data. use when you need to list your stations and view their latest readings.
Why this helps
Broader spreadsheet changes can be hard to connect to operational follow-up when context lives in separate tools.
- Use metadata changes as a cue to revisit operating context.
- Retrieve latest readings from Ambient Weather devices in one run.
- Keep the review accessible with the automation report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Ambient Weather once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Ambient Weather devices and latest readings when spreadsheet metadata changes, then summarize the update and readings for review.
- 4Pick Spreadsheet Metadata Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and review the run report.
