Respond in Bubble when spreadsheet properties change
A spreadsheet property change can start a Bubble workflow for the review or follow-up your process requires.
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
Trigger Bubble Workflow via GET
Trigger a Bubble API workflow using an HTTP GET request. API workflows are server-side workflows in Bubble that can be triggered externally. Use GET for simple workflows that don't require a request body (parameters passed as query strings). For workflows requiring complex data or file uploads, use the POST version instead. Before using: The workflow must be created in Bubble's workflow editor and marked as "Expose as a public API workflow". The Bubble app must have API access enabled in its subscription.
Why this helps
Changes to spreadsheet settings or identity can affect a process, but may not be noticed in time.
- React when monitored top-level spreadsheet properties change.
- Start an existing Bubble workflow for review or follow-up.
- Reduce the need to periodically inspect spreadsheet settings.
