Keep spreadsheet configuration changes reviewable
Spreadsheet settings and structure can shift without changing the data you scan each day. Have Notis log meaningful metadata changes for a quick review.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Configuration changes are easy to miss until a familiar workflow behaves differently.
- Keep configuration changes visible
- Make follow-up on structure shifts easier
- Reduce uncertainty when a spreadsheet behaves differently
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe which metadata changes to log and the review detail to include.
- 4Pick Spreadsheet Metadata Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and review the log entry.
Questions about this workflow
What metadata changes can this cover?
The trigger can detect spreadsheet property, sheet, named range, developer metadata, and data source changes, among other metadata changes.
Can it explain whether a change is risky?
Give Notis the relevant context and decision criteria. Without them, it can describe the change and flag it for review.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Super to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Super triggers
Google Sheets actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet

Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
