Refresh your workbook guide when worksheet tabs change

Keep a short guide aligned with the tabs people actually see when worksheets are added, removed, or renamed.

Trigger

Worksheet Names Changed

Triggers when the set of worksheet/tab names changes in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when sheets are added, deleted, or renamed.

Action

Create Async Document

Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.

Why this helps

A shared workbook evolves, but onboarding notes and navigation guides still describe its old layout.

  • Respond to added, deleted, or renamed worksheet tabs.
  • Make workbook navigation easier for teammates and new collaborators.
  • Use asynchronous generation for guide updates that need status tracking.

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 to use the changed worksheet names to create a workbook guide PDF from HTML.
  • 4Choose the Worksheet Names Changed trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real tab change and review the generated guide.

Questions about this workflow

Does this event provide worksheet contents?

The event detects changes to the set of worksheet or tab names. If the guide needs descriptions or instructions beyond names, provide those details in your prompt or source data.

Why use asynchronous creation?

Async creation is useful when you want to track completion status or use a callback for the generated guide.
