Bring changing spreadsheet metrics into Campfire
A changing total or count can be shared in the project conversation while the change is still fresh.
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
Create Chatbot Line
Tool to post a message as a chatbot to a Basecamp Campfire. Use when you need to post messages via a chatbot integration without OAuth authentication.
Why this helps
Teams often discover a changed KPI long after the spreadsheet was updated.
- Put metric changes in the conversation the team already uses.
- Share the latest aggregate result without manual checking.
- Include context about the direction of change when the trigger provides it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to describe the changed aggregate and which Basecamp Campfire should receive the update.
- 4Pick the Aggregate Metric Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real metric change and check the Campfire post for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Which metric calculations are supported by the trigger?
The trigger monitors SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, or MAX on a target column, optionally filtered by a search column and value.
Will it post every poll?
It fires when the calculated result changes, so an unchanged result does not start a new run.
Can the post explain why the metric changed?
Not unless the trigger data or your instruction provides enough row-level context. Ask for a concise report of the result and change, not an unsupported cause.
