Recheck competitor data when a tracked metric moves
Use a meaningful shift in your sheet as the cue to collect fresh competitor data.
Trigger
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.
Action
Run Actor Sync & Get Dataset Items
Tool to run an actor synchronously and retrieve its dataset items. use when immediate access to run results is needed.
Why this helps
A change in a key metric can call for fresh context, but the follow-up research often gets delayed.
- Connects metric movement to a fresh collection run.
- Returns dataset items for review alongside the trigger context.
- Reduces manual follow-up after a meaningful change.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the competitor research to run when the aggregate changes.
- 3Choose Aggregate Metric Changed as the trigger and select where reports should arrive.
- 4Test with one real metric change and review the returned dataset items.
