Content Publication Notifications
When your content calendar spreadsheet is created, your social team gets an instant WhatsApp alert with the publishing schedule.
Trigger
New Spreadsheet Created
Triggers when a new Google Spreadsheet is created. This trigger monitors Google Spreadsheets and fires when new spreadsheets are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently detect newly created spreadsheets.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Content calendars are created but social team doesn't see them until asking for updates, missing publication deadlines.
- Social team stays aligned on content schedule immediately
- No missed publication windows due to communication lag
- Reduces silos between content planning and execution

- 1Connect Google Sheets and WhatsApp.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new content calendar spreadsheet is created, send the social media team a WhatsApp message with this month's publishing schedule and key content deadlines.'
- 3Select 'New Spreadsheet Created' as your trigger.
- 4Set WhatsApp as your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a new calendar spreadsheet in your Google Drive.
Questions about this workflow
What if I already use a content calendar spreadsheet that exists?
Use a different automation trigger ('New Rows' or 'Row Changed') instead of 'New Spreadsheet Created' to monitor that existing sheet for updates.
Can the message include the full calendar content?
WhatsApp has message length limits. Include key deadlines and links to the sheet, or send a summary of upcoming posts.
How often should I update the social team?
Set this automation to trigger on new spreadsheet creation, then create a separate daily/weekly reminder for ongoing schedule updates.
