Get instant alerts when cell values change
Critical cell changed? Email alert fires immediately. Stay aware of your most important numbers in real time.
Trigger
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.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Monitoring critical numbers (budget spent, customer churn, conversion rate) by checking sheets is reactive and easy to miss.
- Instant email when monitored cells change
- Perfect for budget, metric, or status tracking
- No manual checking or dashboards needed
- Stay responsive to important changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When the cell [A1:C5] in my [Sheet] changes, send me an email alert with the new value.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Cell Range Values Changed' and specify the exact cell or range to monitor (A1, B2:B10, or a named range).
- 4Describe what the cells represent (e.g., 'Budget Remaining') so the alert email is clear.
- 5Test by manually editing a cell in the range and confirm the alert email arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Can I monitor multiple non-adjacent cells?
Yes. Create separate automations for each range, or tell Notis to watch a wider range and filter for specific cells in the alert.
Will I get alerts for tiny changes?
Yes, every change. To reduce noise, set a threshold in your prompt: 'only alert if the value changes by more than $100.'
Can the alert include context (like the cell label)?
Yes. Store labels in adjacent cells and Notis will include them in the alert email.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to Gmail. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
Gmail actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
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.
Create label
Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's gmail account.
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.
Delete Draft
Permanently deletes a specific gmail draft using its id; ensure the draft exists and the user has necessary permissions for the given `user id`.
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.
Delete message
Permanently deletes a specific email message by its id from a gmail mailbox; for `user id`, use 'me' for the authenticated user or an email address to which the authenticated user has delegated access.
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.
Fetch emails
Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Fetch message by message ID
Fetches a specific email message by its id, provided the `message id` exists and is accessible to the authenticated `user id`.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
Fetch Message by Thread ID
Retrieves messages from a gmail thread using its `thread id`, where the thread must be accessible by the specified `user id`.
