Update ClassMarker parent categories from schema changes

Keep category structure aligned when your source table evolves.

Trigger

Table Schema Changed

Polling trigger that detects when a table's schema changes in Google Sheets. Monitors columns added/removed/renamed and inferred type/format changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare schemas between polls.

Action

Update an existing parent category

Tool to update an existing parent category. Use after confirming the parent category ID.

Why this helps

A renamed or reorganized table column creates taxonomy drift in ClassMarker.

  • Catches structural taxonomy changes
  • Reduces inconsistent category names
  • Creates a reviewable update trail
