Revisit research tools after spreadsheet settings change
A spreadsheet's title, locale, time zone, or recalculation settings can signal a project update. Notis can retrieve your available robots for review.
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
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
Workbook changes can pass without prompting a quick check of the related research setup.
- Make a robot review part of workbook maintenance.
- Bring available research options into the settings-change report.
- Reduce the chance that a project update leaves its research setup stale.
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 the Browse AI robot list when spreadsheet properties change and include it in the report.
- 4Pick the Spreadsheet Properties Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real spreadsheet property update and review the report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Browseai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Browseai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Bulk Run Tasks
This action allows users to bulk run up to 50,000 tasks using a specified robot. it provides a post endpoint at /v2/robots/{robotid}/bulk-tasks and supports parameters such as robot id (required), title (required), and input parameters (required). this bulk operation is essential for large-scale data extraction.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Monitor
This tool creates a new monitor for a specific robot in browse ai. it allows you to configure a monitor with a schedule (frequency and interval) for automatic execution, along with optional custom name and input parameters, enabling automated tracking of website changes.
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.
Create Webhook
This tool creates a new webhook for a browseai robot. webhooks are used to receive notifications when tasks are completed or data changes are detected. the webhook will be called with the task details when specific events occur. it is useful for: - setting up automated notifications for task completion - receiving real-time updates when changes are detected - integrating browseai with your own systems - automating workflows based on robot task results the webhook can be configured to trigger on different events: - task.completed: when a task is successfully completed - task.failed: when a task fails - changes.detected: when changes are detected during monitoring
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.
Delete a specific monitor
This tool allows users to delete a specific monitor from their browse ai account. it uses the delete method and requires a valid monitor id.
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.
Delete a specific task
This tool allows you to delete a specific task in browseai by its task id. it is used for cleaning up completed or failed tasks, managing resources, and maintaining your task list.
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.
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
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.
Get Robot Tasks
This tool retrieves all tasks associated with a specific robot in browse ai. it provides a paginated list of tasks with their details including status, input parameters, captured data, screenshots, and lists. it is useful for: - monitoring task execution status - retrieving captured data and screenshots - analyzing task execution history - debugging robot performance
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.
Get Task Details
This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific task in browse ai by its task id. it returns comprehensive details including the task's status, execution results, associated metadata, timestamps, and configuration. it complements existing tools by providing an in-depth view of individual task execution, including metadata and error details if applicable.
