Notis

Turn important spreadsheet changes into PDFs

When the values you monitor change, Notis can start the document work while the update is still top of mind.

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

Create PDF Asynchronously

Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.

Why this helps

A key status or approval changes in a sheet, but the related document is easy to overlook.

  • Respond to changes in an important spreadsheet range.
  • Create a consistent document from the latest returned data.
  • Reduce manual checks for updates that need a PDF.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and CraftMyPDF once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction which template and PDF outcome to use when the changed range is reported.
  • 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test by changing a real value in the monitored range and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

What changes start this workflow?

The trigger fires when values in the specified A1 range change. Describe in your instruction how the returned change should be used to generate a PDF.

Can I use this for approvals?

Yes, when the approval information is represented in the monitored range and the instruction explains what document to create.
