Protect a Doppler config during a release freeze

Track release freeze status where your team already plans work, then have Notis lock the relevant Doppler config when that range changes.

Trigger

Cell Range Values Changed

Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.

Action

Lock Config

Tool to lock a config. Use when you need to prevent a config from being renamed or deleted after confirming the project and config names. Example: "Lock config 'staging-config' in project 'proj-123' after finalizing environment setup."

Why this helps

A release freeze can be easy to miss when its status lives in a planning sheet and config access must be adjusted separately.

  • Connect a planning change to a config protection step.
  • Avoid a separate manual reminder to lock the config.
  • Get a run report that records the automation outcome.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Doppler in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis which changed range signals a freeze and which project and config to lock.
  • 4Choose Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real freeze status change.

Questions about this workflow

Does the automation create or find the config?

The lock action needs a project and config name. Include those in your instruction or the data available to Notis; the action does not discover a config automatically.

Can it unlock the config when the freeze ends?

This package uses the lock action. For an unlock process, create a separate automation with a clearly defined end-of-freeze trigger and the Doppler unlock action.
