Keep Databox aligned with changing query results

Use changes in a saved table query to update the dataset behind your Databox reporting.

Trigger

Table Query Result Changed

Triggers when the result set of a saved table query changes in Google Sheets. Detects rows added, removed, or updated in the query output. This trigger monitors the result of a SQL query against a Google Sheets table and fires when changes are detected.

Action

Push Data to Dataset (V1)

Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.

Why this helps

Query outputs can shift over time, making it hard to know which records need to be carried into reporting.

  • Respond to added, removed, or updated query rows.
  • Keep reporting connected to a defined result set.
  • Reduce time spent checking query output manually.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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 how to handle changed query rows when sending records to your Databox dataset.
  • 4Pick the Google Sheets Table Query Result Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real query result change.
