Build a scheduled status brief from spreadsheet data
Get a concise status document on your chosen cadence using the sheet you already maintain.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Recurring status updates require opening several tabs, deciding what matters, and formatting a document from scratch.
- Create a recurring review document from existing sheet data.
- Reduce the effort of preparing routine status updates.
- Keep the report generation prompt consistent from run to run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which status data to summarize and to create a concise PDF from HTML.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the generated PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule create the report automatically?
Yes. A Notis cron trigger starts the automation on the recurring schedule you choose.
Can it report on progress over time?
Only when the sheet contains the relevant history or baseline. If the data has only current status, the report can summarize current status but cannot infer past progress.

Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Get Async Document Status
Tool to check the status of an asynchronously created document. Use when monitoring progress of async documents by polling for completion status.
