Track spreadsheet validation changes that need operational attention
When a sheet's data validation rules change, ask Notis to assess the operational impact and open a case if the change could disrupt data quality or a team process.
Trigger
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.
Action
Update Case
Updates an existing case (incident) entity record in dynamics crm using the web api.
Why this helps
Validation changes can quietly allow bad or inconsistent data into a shared workflow without a clear owner to investigate.
- Give potentially disruptive rule changes an owner and a case record.
- Reduce manual checks for changes to data entry controls.
- Keep the decision focused on operational impact.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Dynamics 365 once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for validation review.
- 3Tell Notis which data validation changes need investigation and what to include in a case.
- 4Pick the Google Sheets Data Validation Rule Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real validation rule change and confirm the case details.
Questions about this workflow
What does the trigger detect?
It uses snapshot-based diffing to detect data validation rules that are added, updated, or removed.
Can a case explain the effect of a rule change?
The event reports the rule change. Your instruction can ask Notis to assess its impact, but any missing process context must be supplied.
