Add Link Context to a Metric Change

When a tracked total, count, average, minimum, or maximum changes, see recent shortened links in the same report.

Trigger

Aggregate Metric Changed

Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.

Action

View Last Shortened URLs

This action retrieves a list of recently shortened urls from your cutt.ly account. it allows users to view their latest shortened links and their details. note: due to api limitations, this action may not return all historical urls. for complete history, please use the cutt.ly dashboard.

Why this helps

A metric shift can trigger investigation, but relevant recent links may require a separate manual lookup.

  • Bring recent link details into a metric change report.
  • Reduce the steps needed to start investigating a shift.
  • Keep a useful review prompt tied to the monitored calculation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Cutt.ly once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: when the monitored aggregate changes, retrieve recent Cutt.ly URLs and summarize them with the changed metric context.
  • 4Pick the Aggregate Metric Changed trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real metric change.

Questions about this workflow

Can this prove that a link caused the metric change?

No. It can place returned link details beside the change for investigation, but the available action does not establish causation.

Which calculations can trigger it?

The trigger supports SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, or MAX on a target column, optionally filtered by a search column and value.
