Track spreadsheet validation rule changes

Changes to allowed values or input rules can affect how data enters a workflow. Keep a review task in Bitbucket when validation rules change.

Trigger

Data Validation Rule Changed

Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

Action

Create an issue

Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.

Why this helps

A changed validation rule can alter incoming data without giving the people maintaining dependent code a clear follow-up.

  • Create a follow-up when validation rules are added, updated, or removed.
  • Make changes to spreadsheet input constraints easier to review.
  • Keep rule change follow-up alongside engineering work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which validation rule changes should create a review issue.
  • 3Pick the Data Validation Rule Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 4Test with one real validation change and confirm the issue has enough context.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Create a pull request

Creates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.

ActionInstant

Conditional Format Rule Changed

Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

TriggerPolling

Create repository

Creates a new bitbucket 'git' repository in a specified workspace, defaulting to the workspace's oldest project if `project key` is not provided.

ActionInstant

Data Validation Rule Changed

Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

TriggerPolling

Create snippet comment

Posts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.

ActionInstant

Developer Metadata Changed

Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.

TriggerPolling

Delete issue

Permanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.

ActionInstant

Filtered Range Values Changed

Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
