Trigger
Cell Range Values Changed

Action

Why this helps
Status changes in a spreadsheet are easy to miss when the files and decisions live somewhere else.
- Keep a short update beside the file people need to act on.
- Capture changes without manually copying spreadsheet notes.
- Make file history easier to follow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize the changed values and comment on the Box file identified by the relevant row.
- 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and specify the range in the trigger settings.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real change and a row that identifies a Box file.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger watch a specific status cell?
Yes. The Cell Range Values Changed trigger monitors a specified A1 range.
What if the changed range does not identify a Box file?
Provide a way to identify the related file in the row or describe how Notis should find it. The trigger only supplies the changed range values.
