Review available Browse AI robots when a project sheet starts

A new spreadsheet can mark a new research project. Notis can retrieve your Browse AI robot list so the available tools are at hand.

Trigger

New Spreadsheet Created

Triggers when a new Google Spreadsheet is created. This trigger monitors Google Spreadsheets and fires when new spreadsheets are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently detect newly created spreadsheets.

Action

Get Robots List

This tool retrieves a list of all robots under your account in browse ai. each robot represents an automated task that can be trained to perform various web operations like opening webpages, logging in, clicking buttons, filling forms, extracting data, and monitoring changes. it is useful for: - getting an overview of all your automated tasks - checking the status of your robots - retrieving robot ids for use with other api endpoints - monitoring when robots were last updated or created

Why this helps

A fresh project starts with an extra detour to find which robots are already available.

  • Bring the robot inventory into the new-project moment.
  • Reduce setup context switching when a new sheet is created.
  • Reuse existing robots before considering new automation work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Browse AI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve your Browse AI robots when a new spreadsheet is detected and send the result in the run report.
  • 4Pick the New Spreadsheet Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real new spreadsheet and review the robot list in the report.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a robot for the spreadsheet?

No. It retrieves your current Browse AI robot list for review.

Can the trigger find a newly created spreadsheet anywhere in my account?
