Trigger

Spreadsheet Properties Changed

Action

Update Heartbeat Group

Tool to update an existing heartbeat group. use when you need to modify attributes like name, interval, or pause status.

Why this helps

A renamed planning spreadsheet can signal a broader naming or organization change that is easy to miss.

  • Keep names consistent
  • Catch organizational changes early
  • Reduce repetitive updates

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Better stack once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that identifies the related heartbeat group and applies only explicit name or supported setting changes from the spreadsheet update context.
  • 3Pick Spreadsheet Properties Changed as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one properties change tied to a known group.

Questions about this workflow

Can it infer which group changed?

Only when the spreadsheet context or automation instruction identifies the relationship.

Will it alter heartbeat checks inside the group?

No. This action updates the group itself.
