- Check worksheet names in a specified workbook.
- Surface a missing or renamed onboarding tab sooner.
- Keep an existing onboarding process easier to maintain.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the workbook check.
- 3Tell Notis which existing spreadsheet to inspect and which worksheet names your process expects.
- 4Pick the New User Created trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real user.
