Get email reports when query results shift
Query results changed? Notis emails you a report. No checking sheets, no manual summarizing.
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
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Saving queries in sheets is useful, but monitoring results requires manual checking. Changes slip by unnoticed until a stakeholder asks.
- Automatic email when query results change
- Monitor without manual sheet-checking
- Report formatted and ready for stakeholders
- Catch data anomalies instantly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When my saved query in [Sheet Name] returns new or changed results, send an email report.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Table Query Result Changed' and select your saved query.
- 4Tell Notis what to include in the report (all rows, only new rows, rows that changed, etc.).
- 5Specify recipients and test by running the query to confirm emails arrive.
Questions about this workflow
What kind of queries does this support?
Any Google Sheets native query (SQL-like syntax on table data). Notis monitors the query result and detects when rows are added, removed, or updated.
Can I filter which changes trigger the email?
Yes. Set conditions like 'only alert if more than 5 rows changed' or 'only if Status column equals At Risk.'
What format is the report?
A clean email with a formatted table of the query results, plus optional summary stats (total rows, new rows, deleted rows, etc.).
