Bring cluster details into a spreadsheet metadata review
Pair a metadata change with a fresh lookup of a cluster you identify, so the context is ready for a focused review.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Action
Get Bonsai Cluster Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single bonsai cluster by slug. use when you need to inspect a cluster's configuration and status.
Why this helps
Spreadsheet metadata updates and cluster configuration live in separate places, making it harder to keep review context together.
- Adds current details for a known cluster to a metadata change report.
- Reduces the need to switch apps during infrastructure reviews.
- Helps teams revisit cluster status when spreadsheet metadata shifts.
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 look up the Bonsai cluster slug you provide and report its details with the detected metadata change.
- 4Pick the Spreadsheet Metadata Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and a valid cluster slug.
