Use an aggregate change to trigger an airport distance lookup

When a tracked metric changes, get a distance lookup for the airport pair represented in your monitored 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

Get airport distance by IATA

Tool to get distance between two airports by their iata codes. use when you have valid airport iata codes and need the flight distance.

Why this helps

A changed planning metric can be easy to miss when it should prompt a related travel check.

  • Use a changed aggregate as a signal to start a travel lookup.
  • Retrieve distance for valid IATA airport codes present in the monitored data.
  • Receive the outcome in a run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Apiverve once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis which valid airport IATA codes in the monitored spreadsheet data to use for the distance lookup and how to report it; select Aggregate Metric Changed and a report channel.
  • 4Test with a real aggregate change and a row containing a valid airport pair.
