Review a document template when table columns change
A changed table schema can be a useful prompt to review the template that depends on its data.
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 Editor Session
Tool to create an embeddable editor session URL for a template. Use when you need to embed the PDF editor for a specific template.
Why this helps
Columns get added, removed, or renamed, and someone must remember to check whether a connected document template still makes sense.
- Prompt a human to review a template after a schema shift.
- Create an editor session for a chosen CraftMyPDF template.
- Reduce the chance that a document process quietly falls out of sync with changing data.
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 to create an editor session for the template that should be reviewed when the schema change is reported.
- 4Pick Table Schema Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a real schema change and confirm the editor session URL is returned.
