Make table schema changes visible in Clientary
Column changes can affect how people and automations interpret a table. Turn each detected change into a review task.
Trigger
Table Schema Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a table's schema changes in Google Sheets. Monitors columns added/removed/renamed and inferred type/format changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare schemas between polls.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new task in Clientary. Use when you need to create a task with a title, optionally associating it with a project and assignee.
Why this helps
A renamed or retyped column can quietly break reporting expectations while the rest of the team assumes the table is unchanged.
- Notice column additions, removals, and renames.
- Make inferred type or format changes easier to review.
- Keep schema follow-up visible in the work queue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Clientary once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: When the table schema changes, create a Clientary task to review dependent reports and data assumptions, including available schema change details.
- 4Pick Table Schema Changed for the relevant table and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real schema change.
