Start a build when your release control changes

When a monitored release cell changes, Notis can use the sheet's build details to start the next Codemagic run.

Trigger

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.

Action

Start New Build

Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.

Why this helps

A release status may change in a spreadsheet, but the person who needs to launch the build may not notice in time.

  • React to changes in a specific release control range.
  • Use build details maintained with the release record.
  • Reduce the chance an approved release waits for a manual handoff.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Codemagic once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to start the Codemagic build described by the sheet when the monitored release range changes.
  • 4Pick the Cell Range Values Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real change to the monitored range and a valid build request.

Questions about this workflow

Does a cell change itself provide the build settings?

The sheet needs to contain or make available the application, workflow, and branch or tag details that Codemagic requires.

Can I pick which range is monitored?

Yes. Choose the range when selecting the Google Sheets trigger in Notis.
