Keep Amplitude event definitions aligned with sheet updates
When an approved event definition changes in a tracked range, carry the supplied update into its Amplitude event type.
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
Update Amplitude Event Type
Update an existing event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - change event type properties - update event name, category, metadata, and settings - modify display name for ingested events key features: - updates event type configuration - supports partial updates (only specified fields are changed)
Why this helps
A tracking definition gets revised in a spreadsheet but the analytics event catalog keeps the old description or settings.
- Reduce duplicate edits to event definitions
- Use approved details from the changed range
- Keep catalog updates tied to a clear spreadsheet change
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Amplitude once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which range changes are approved event updates and provide the event name and new details to apply.
- 4Pick the Cell Range Values Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real definition change and review the updated event type in Amplitude.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow determine which event to update?
Your instruction or the changed range must identify the event type to update. Notis cannot reliably infer a match when that information is missing.
Does it replace every event property?
The action supports partial updates. Describe only the event details that should change.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Amplitude. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Amplitude actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Amplitude Cohort Status
Check the status of a cohort export request. this action allows you to: - poll the status of an in-progress cohort download request - determine if a cohort is ready for download
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Amplitude Event Category
Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
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.
Delete Amplitude Event Category
Delete an event category from amplitude. this action allows you to: - delete an existing event category - remove category organization from events key features: - permanently removes event categories - returns success/failure status
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Delete Amplitude Event Type
Delete an event type from amplitude. this action allows you to: - remove an event type from your project - mark live events as deleted - remove planned events from the tracking plan key features: - different behavior based on event status (live, planned, etc.) - returns success/failure status
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.
Request Amplitude Cohort
Get a single cohort by id and initiate download. this action allows you to: - request a specific cohort from amplitude - optionally include user properties in the response - start the asynchronous download process key features: - supports filtering by specific user properties - returns a request id used for polling status and downloading - supports eu data residency
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.
Get Amplitude Event Categories
Get event categories from amplitude. this action allows you to: - get all event categories in your project - get a specific category by name
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.
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
