Define terminology in changed query results

Keep decision-ready spreadsheet outputs understandable as they evolve.

Trigger

Table Query Result Changed

Triggers when the result set of a saved table query changes in Google Sheets. Detects rows added, removed, or updated in the query output. This trigger monitors the result of a SQL query against a Google Sheets table and fires when changes are detected.

Action

Get Word Definition V2

Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.

Why this helps

Query outputs change quickly, and new labels can carry meaning that is not obvious to every reviewer.

  • Clarify changing decision inputs
  • Focus on new result content
  • Reduce repeated interpretation work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Dictionary api once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that reviews added or updated query-result rows, identifies unfamiliar terms, and retrieves definitions.
  • 3Pick Table Query Result Changed as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel.
  • 5Test it with one result change.

Questions about this workflow

Can it compare removed rows?

Ask Notis to focus on added and updated content because removed rows have no current text to define.

Can it deduplicate repeated terms?

Yes. Include deduplication in the plain-language instruction.
