Check for a project tracking tab from your inbox
Have Notis check whether a project sheet is already set up when a related email comes in.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Find worksheet by title
Finds a worksheet by its exact, case-sensitive title within a google spreadsheet; returns a boolean indicating if found and the complete metadata of the entire spreadsheet, regardless of whether the target worksheet is found.
Why this helps
Teams lose time when they are unsure whether a project has a tracking tab or where to record updates.
- Check for an existing worksheet before recording project updates.
- Reduce uncertainty about whether a project tracker is set up.
- Use an exact title check against an existing spreadsheet.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how to identify the project and worksheet title to check.
- 3Choose New Outlook Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real project email for a spreadsheet with a known worksheet title.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a tab if one is missing?
No. This workflow checks for an exact worksheet title. Ask for a separate supported action if you also want to create a tab.
What if the project name is unclear?
Ask Notis to report that it could not identify the project rather than checking an assumed title.
