Trigger

Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.

Action

Approve Approval

Tool to approve a pending approval record. Use when you need to programmatically approve a pending approval by ID.

Why this helps

Teams record decisions in a sheet and still have to repeat the same action in Coupa.

  • Remove duplicate approval work
  • Use a lightweight review queue
  • Keep the final action in Coupa

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Coupa in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Reviewed sheet row to approve.
  • 3Tell Notis to approve the matching Coupa approval only when the new row clearly records an approval decision and identifier.
  • 4Pick New Rows in Google Sheet and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one reviewed row and a safe approval.

Questions about this workflow

What if the row says reject?

Create a separate instruction for rejection or ask Notis to report non-approval decisions instead of approving.

Can it approve any Coupa object?

It acts on the approval record identified by the row and supported by the Coupa approval action.
