Connect changing metrics to heartbeat coverage
When a tracked total or average moves, have Notis list configured heartbeats and summarize relevant coverage for your team.
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
List Heartbeats
Tool to list all heartbeats. use when you need to retrieve your configured uptime heartbeats with optional pagination.
Why this helps
A meaningful metric shift can go unnoticed or lack an obvious connection to the services whose health checks matter.
- Prompt a heartbeat inventory review when a chosen metric changes.
- Keep the metric change and returned heartbeat context together.
- Make possible coverage gaps easier to 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 what aggregate change should prompt a heartbeat inventory review and how to summarize the returned list.
- 4Pick Aggregate Metric Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real aggregate change.
Questions about this workflow
Can this show which heartbeat corresponds to the changed metric?
Only when your instruction or returned data provides a clear relationship. The aggregate trigger reports a changed calculation, and the heartbeat action lists heartbeats; it does not define a metric-to-heartbeat mapping.
Does this change heartbeat settings?
No. This workflow lists configured heartbeats for review. It does not update them.
