Set a Bolt digital output when a Google Sheets row changes
Keep a row-based operating instruction connected to a supported Bolt digital output command, then review each run in your report channel.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Row Changed
Triggers when a looked-up spreadsheet row changes. This trigger monitors a specific row (located by searching for a query value within a user-specified range) and fires when the row's values change, when the row appears, or when the row disappears.
Action
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Why this helps
A device instruction can sit in a spreadsheet while someone has to remember to repeat it manually in the device tool.
- Send a specified high or low command after the monitored row changes.
- Reduce repeated manual device commands.
- Keep a record of the automation run in your chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis: when the looked-up row changes, set the specified digital pin on the specified Bolt device to the stated high or low value.
- 4Pick Spreadsheet Row Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real row change and confirm the device action and report.
Questions about this workflow
Can the row contents dynamically choose a pin state?
Notis uses a plain-language instruction rather than field mapping. State the intended behavior clearly, and test with a real row change before relying on it.
Does this action verify the device is online first?
The listed digital write action sends a pin command. If connectivity verification is needed, use the separate online status action in its own workflow.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Bolt iot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
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.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
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.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
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.
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
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.
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
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.
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
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.
