Control Apify inputs from a Sheet

Change the research controls your team already uses and keep the task input aligned.

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

Update Task Input

Tool to update the input configuration of a specific actor task. use when you need to modify a scheduled tasks input before execution.

Why this helps

Collection settings drift because updates are copied into task configuration manually.

  • Use a familiar Sheet as the control surface
  • Reduce configuration drift
  • Keep task inputs current after each approved change

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Apify once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Sync collection controls.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the monitored range and update the specified Apify task input when values change.
  • 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one controlled cell edit.

Questions about this workflow

Can the range contain text and numbers?

Yes. Tell Notis how to interpret the values for the task input.

Will it run the task after updating?

No. Use a separate run action if the change should also start execution.
