Recheck a known Bonsai space after sheet settings change
A change to spreadsheet settings can be a useful cue to revisit the details of a space already under consideration.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Properties Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's top-level properties change. Monitors properties such as title, locale, timeZone, and autoRecalc settings.
Action
Retrieve Space Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single space by its path. use when you need metadata for a space before provisioning a cluster. use after confirming this detail exists. e.g., 'omc/bonsai/us-east-1/common'.
Why this helps
Settings changes can be easy to overlook when you are also tracking infrastructure decisions in another app.
- Pairs a spreadsheet properties update with details for a known space.
- Makes review context available in one run report.
- Helps teams notice planning changes without another manual 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.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve details for the Bonsai space path you provide and report them with the spreadsheet properties change.
- 4Pick the Spreadsheet Properties Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real properties change and a valid existing space path.
Questions about this workflow
What information is needed for the space lookup?
Retrieve Space Details uses a space path. Supply the known path in your instruction; this action does not discover one.
Can the action check a cluster?
No. It retrieves metadata for a space. Get Bonsai Cluster Details is a different action that requires a cluster slug.
Does a spreadsheet property change mean the Bonsai space changed?
No. The trigger reports a change in spreadsheet properties. The space lookup provides review context, not a causal link.
