Route invoice escalations into Coupa
When an escalation decision changes in your sheet, have Notis add the requested approver to the matching invoice.
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
Add Approver To Invoice
Tool to manually add an approver to an invoice. Use when you need to add a user or user group to the approval chain of an invoice at a specific position.
Why this helps
An updated escalation tracker can sit unnoticed while an invoice continues through the wrong approval chain.
- Turn a tracked escalation into a Coupa approval-chain update.
- Reduce manual checking of escalation changes.
- Keep the escalation decision and invoice routing connected.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Coupa once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from your usual channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to identify the invoice and the requested user or group from the changed range, and when to add that approver.
- 4Pick the Cell Range Values Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real escalation change and confirm the intended approver was added to the intended invoice.
Questions about this workflow
Will this approve the invoice?
No. It adds an approver to the invoice approval chain. It does not approve the invoice.
What information must the monitored range contain?
It needs to provide a way to identify the invoice, the requested approver, and a clear indication that the escalation should be applied.
