Why this helps
Infrastructure planning data shifts, but the space options you checked earlier may no longer be the ones you want to review.
- Prompts a fresh space lookup when monitored planning data changes.
- Keeps current options close to the spreadsheet update.
- Supports review without manually repeating a lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Bonsai once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Bonsai's available spaces when the relevant sheet range changes and include the changed values in the report.
- 4Pick the Cell Range Values Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example range change and inspect the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can this watch any spreadsheet value?
The trigger monitors a specified A1 range. Choose the range that contains planning information relevant to your workflow.
Does the Bonsai action return details for a specific space?
No. This action lists available spaces. Retrieve Space Details is a separate action when you already know a space path.
Will this reserve a space?
No. It retrieves a list for review and does not reserve or provision anything.
