Audit task inputs when a spreadsheet changes
When the spreadsheet structure shifts, check the collection input before it causes surprises.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Action
Get Task Input

Why this helps
Metadata changes can invalidate assumptions in downstream collection tasks.
- Catch configuration drift earlier
- Review the stored task input after structural changes
- Protect downstream collection quality
