Use changing sheet metrics to prompt risk threshold setup

When a monitored total or average changes, Notis can turn the signal into a Borneo threshold for a processing activity.

Trigger

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.

Action

Create processing activity threshold

Creates a new threshold for a specific data processing activity in the context of lopdp (law on personal data protection) compliance. this endpoint is used to define and assess various risk factors associated with data processing activities. it allows for the creation of detailed risk profiles by setting multiple boolean flags for different aspects of data processing, such as systematic personal assessment, large-scale observation, and handling of sensitive data. the threshold can be saved as a draft or activated immediately. this tool is essential for organizations to evaluate and document their data processing activities for compliance purposes and risk management.

Why this helps

Risk signals in spreadsheet metrics may not reach the compliance workflow that needs to respond.

  • Bring changing aggregate signals into privacy risk operations.
  • Prompt threshold creation when monitored results move.
  • Retain a run report for review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Borneo once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe in one instruction what metric change should prompt a threshold and what processing activity context to use.
  • 4Pick the Aggregate Metric Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example metric change and review the run report.

Questions about this workflow

Does the metric itself define the threshold value?

Only if the metric and the intended threshold rule are clearly supplied. The prompt should specify how to use the value and provide any missing compliance context.

Can this create thresholds for multiple activities?

It can act on the context supplied by the trigger and prompt. Ensure the activity can be identified unambiguously before using the workflow.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Borneo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Sheets triggers

Borneo actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Access scan iteration by id

Retrieves detailed information about a specific scan iteration in the borneo integration platform. this endpoint allows users to fetch the current status, results, and metadata associated with a particular scan iteration. it should be used when monitoring the progress of a scan, analyzing results, or troubleshooting integration workflows. the endpoint provides a snapshot of the scan iteration at the time of the request and may not reflect real-time updates if the scan is still in progress. it's particularly useful for auditing, reporting, and maintaining a history of scan operations within borneo's automation and integration processes.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Add discovered recipients

Adds multiple discovered recipients to the system as confirmed recipients. this endpoint should be used when you have a list of previously discovered recipient ids that you want to officially add to your recipient database. it's particularly useful for bulk operations where multiple recipients need to be added simultaneously. the endpoint accepts an array of unique uuids, allowing for efficient processing of multiple recipients in a single api call. note that this endpoint only adds recipients; it does not provide any information about the recipients or perform any other actions beyond adding them to the system.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Archive discovered recipient

Archives a specific discovered recipient in the borneo platform. this endpoint is used to move a discovered recipient's data into an archived state, which may be useful for compliance, data retention, or organizational purposes. it should be called when you need to store historical data about a recipient that has been identified through borneo's data visibility and privacy automation processes. the endpoint uses a post method, suggesting it may trigger backend processes to properly archive the recipient's data. note that this operation might affect the visibility or accessibility of the recipient's data in other parts of the system.

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

Delete data breach by id

Deletes a specific data breach evaluation record from the borneo system. this endpoint should be used when an organization needs to remove an evaluation record, typically in cases where the record is no longer relevant, contains errors, or needs to be purged for compliance reasons. the operation is irreversible, so it should be used with caution. this tool is part of borneo's databreachmanagement functionality, supporting the platform's data protection and privacy management capabilities. it helps maintain an accurate and up-to-date record of data breach evaluations, which is crucial for regulatory compliance and risk management.

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 and schedule cloud resource scan

The createscan endpoint initiates a new scan operation in the borneo integration platform, allowing users to configure and schedule data scans across various cloud resources. this powerful tool enables users to set up both one-time and recurring scans, with extensive customization options for resource selection, data inspection policies, and scan limits. it's particularly useful for compliance checks, sensitive data discovery, and regular security audits across cloud environments. the endpoint supports a wide range of resource types and provides flexible scheduling options, from immediate execution to complex cron-based recurring scans. users should carefully consider the scan configuration to balance thoroughness with resource utilization, especially for large-scale environments. while highly versatile, users should note that some features may be resource-type dependent, and should refer to borneo's documentation for specific connector and filter support.

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 dashboard user

Creates a new dashboard user in the borneo integration platform with specified roles, organizational access, and authentication settings. this endpoint allows for granular control over user permissions across different organizations and departments within the borneo ecosystem. it supports integration with external identity providers (okta or gcp) for authentication. use this endpoint when onboarding new users or updating existing user permissions. note that while only the email is required, it's recommended to provide comprehensive role and organization information for proper access control.

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

Create department with translations

Creates a new department in the borneo integration platform. this endpoint allows you to add a department to the system with support for multilingual information. it's particularly useful when setting up the organizational structure within borneo or when expanding to new regions requiring localized department names. the endpoint should be used when you need to establish a new department entity that other parts of the system can reference. it's important to note that this endpoint only creates the department and does not associate it with any specific workflows or integrations - those would need to be set up separately.

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.

TriggerPolling

Create domain with polling frequency

Creates a new domain within the borneo integration platform, allowing for automatic polling and management of connected systems or applications. this endpoint is used to set up a new integration point with a specific name and polling frequency. it should be used when establishing a new connection or integration within the borneo ecosystem. the endpoint is particularly useful for setting up automated data synchronization or workflow triggers between different business applications. it does not provide information about existing domains or modify existing ones; it is strictly for creating new domains.
