Review table schema changes in Dart

A new, renamed, or removed column can be a useful prompt to check work that depends on the table.

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 Task

Tool to create a new task in DART with title and optional metadata. Use when you need to add a task to a workspace.

Why this helps

Schema changes can affect reports or routines, but the people responsible may not hear about them.

  • Prompt a review when table structure changes.
  • Keep follow-up visible in Dart.
  • Help teams notice column and inferred type changes.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Dart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis which schema changes deserve a Dart review task and what to check.
  • 4Choose the Table Schema Changed trigger and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real schema change.
