Refresh a news scan when your research range changes
When the cells you monitor change, Notis can use that updated context to request a fresh Currents news scan.
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
List Users
Tool to list users in a Google Workspace domain. Note: - When the provided base_url points to Currents News API (api.currentsapi.services), this action will gracefully fall back to listing latest news articles to ensure a valid response, since the Currents News API does not expose a users endpoint. - When the base_url points to Google Admin Directory API, it will list users from the domain/customer specified.
Why this helps
A research sheet changes, but checking whether the news has shifted becomes another manual follow-up.
- Refresh headline research after monitored cells are updated.
- Keep a changing research question connected to current coverage.
- Review the returned article list in the run report.
Setup

- 1Connect Google Sheets and Currents api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to use the changed range context to retrieve a relevant current news scan.
- 4Pick the Cell Range Values Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by changing a real monitored cell and review the returned results.
