Adapt research requests to schema changes
Keep research automation usable as your operating 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 Single Request
Tool to modify parameters of an existing request in a collection. Use when the collection is not running and you need to update eBay Product Data API parameters.
Why this helps
Column changes silently break the assumptions behind research requests.
- Catches structural changes early
- Keeps requests compatible
- Reduces silent workflow failures
