Update your positioning in the sheet and keep the character's backstory in step with it.
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
Update Character Backstory
Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.
Why this helps
When product positioning changes, character instructions can lag behind the latest approved details.
- Use the monitored range as the source for revised backstory details
- Reduce manual checks after positioning changes
- Keep the update focused on a confirmed existing character
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Convolo AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language, then name it.
- 3In one instruction, identify the existing character and explain how the monitored positioning details should update its backstory.
- 4Pick the Cell Range Values Changed trigger for the relevant range and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real range change and review the backstory update.
Questions about this workflow
What does this workflow need to update a character?
Your instruction must identify the existing Convolo character, and the sheet range must contain the details you want reflected in its backstory.
Will it update other character settings?
No. This workflow uses Convolo AI's Update Character Backstory action, which updates backstory fields.
