Find relevant Bible verses for new prayer requests
Turn each new prayer request into a focused Bible verse search, without leaving your workflow.
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
Search Verses
Tool to search for verses containing a specified query within a version.
Why this helps
Prayer requests can get buried in a sheet, and finding relevant passages takes extra time and context switching.
- Search for verses related to the request's topic as soon as a row is added.
- Keep the request and verse search in one workflow.
- Reduce the time spent switching between a spreadsheet and a Bible reference tool.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Api bible once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Api bible for verses related to each new prayer request.
- 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow write the verses back into the sheet?
The configured action searches Api bible for verses. Ask Notis to include the results in its run report; writing them into a sheet is not part of the listed action.
What starts the automation?
The New Rows in Google Sheet trigger starts it when a new row is detected.
Can I specify a Bible translation?
Include your preferred version in the instruction. If you need to check which versions Api bible supports, use the supported versions action in a separate automation.
