Search Finds Spreadsheets, Calendar Tracks Them
Your saved search surfaces new matching spreadsheets. Notis instantly creates calendar events so you remember to review or collaborate on them.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Search Match
Triggers when a new spreadsheet appears that matches a saved search. This trigger uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when spreadsheets matching the search criteria are newly created or become visible to the user.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.

Questions about this workflow
Do I need to save a search before setting up this automation?
Yes. Create and save your search criteria in Google Sheets first, then tell Notis to monitor it.
Can the calendar event include details about the matching spreadsheet?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the spreadsheet name, owner, or creation date in the event description.
What if my search returns many spreadsheets at once?
Notis creates an event for each new match, so you'll see them all on your calendar.
