Pause a workflow when a new Google Sheets row arrives
A new row can start a Notis workflow and pause briefly through Bench, giving connected processes time to catch up.

Why this helps
New sheet entries can trigger work before other connected processes have finished updating.
- Start a workflow when Google Sheets detects a new row.
- Add a pause before later automation steps run.
- Keep the process prompt based instead of configuring field mappings.
