Prepare Databox context when a spreadsheet is created
A new spreadsheet can prompt Notis to surface the Databox accounts available for related reporting work.
Trigger
New Spreadsheet Created
Triggers when a new Google Spreadsheet is created. This trigger monitors Google Spreadsheets and fires when new spreadsheets are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently detect newly created spreadsheets.
Action
List Accounts
Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation.
Why this helps
A new spreadsheet may be the start of a reporting task, but the right Databox account details are easy to hunt down later.
- Respond when a new Google Spreadsheet is detected.
- Surface accessible Databox accounts alongside the new spreadsheet event.
- Make follow-up reporting setup easier to start.

- 1Connect Google Sheets and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve accessible Databox accounts and summarize them with the new spreadsheet context.
- 4Pick the Google Sheets New Spreadsheet Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real new spreadsheet.
