Put uptime context beside important sheet changes
When a tracked range changes, have Notis fetch monitor availability and summarize the relevant uptime details in a run report.
Trigger
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
Action
Get Monitor Availability
Tool to return an availability summary for a specific monitor. use when you need uptime percentage and incident details within an optional date range.
Why this helps
A spreadsheet change that matters to the team can be hard to assess without checking service uptime separately.
- Bring a monitor's uptime summary into the same review as a sheet change.
- Reduce context switching when reviewing service or incident data.
- Get a concise run report for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which tracked range change should prompt an availability summary for the relevant monitor.
- 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real range change and an identifiable monitor.
Questions about this workflow
Can this determine which monitor matches a changed cell?
Only if your instruction and the available sheet values identify the monitor clearly. Otherwise, provide the monitor identity in your instruction or treat the report as a fixed monitor check.
Does the availability action show a live incident feed?
It returns an availability summary and incident details for a monitor within an optional date range. It is not described as a live incident feed.
