Use query changes to kick off a configured Apify task
When your saved query changes, start the task that follows up on those changes.
Trigger
Table Query Result Changed
Triggers when the result set of a saved table query changes in Google Sheets. Detects rows added, removed, or updated in the query output. This trigger monitors the result of a SQL query against a Google Sheets table and fires when changes are detected.
Action

- Uses changes to a saved query as a clear signal.
- Runs an existing configured task without rebuilding its settings.
- Returns task run details for tracking.
