Keep a Baserow table directory handy when monitored spreadsheet metadata shifts.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Action
List Tables in Database
This tool lists all tables within a specified baserow database. it allows users to retrieve information about all tables in a database by using the get /api/database/{database id}/tables/ endpoint. the expected output is an array of table objects containing details such as id, name, order, database id, type, and first row header.
Why this helps
Metadata changes can affect how you organize work, but finding Baserow table options takes a separate lookup.
- Start table discovery when spreadsheet metadata changes.
- Get a table list for the Baserow database you specify.
- Review the metadata event and tables through the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Baserow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the Baserow database and ask for its tables when spreadsheet metadata changes.
- 4Pick the Spreadsheet Metadata Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change.
