Know when new spreadsheets appear
Your team creates new spreadsheets all day for budgets, tracking, campaigns. Notis monitors your Drive and sends Telegram alerts when new spreadsheets appear. One less thing you have to actively discover.
Trigger
New Spreadsheet Created
Triggers when a new Google Spreadsheet is created. This trigger monitors Google Spreadsheets and fires when new spreadsheets are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently detect newly created spreadsheets.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
New spreadsheets are created regularly for various projects or initiatives, but you don't find out until weeks later when asking 'where's the budget sheet?' or discovering duplicate efforts.
- Get alerted to new spreadsheets as soon as they're created
- Prevent duplicate spreadsheets for the same purpose
- Stay aware of team activity without constant Drive browsing
- Spot test or temporary sheets early before they become confusing

- 1Connect Google Sheets and Telegram to Notis

- 3Write your instruction: 'Send a Telegram message whenever a new spreadsheet is created in my Drive'
- 4Select 'New Spreadsheet Created' trigger, choose your Telegram channel, and test by creating a new spreadsheet
Questions about this workflow
Does this monitor all spreadsheets in my Drive or just shared ones?
By default, Notis monitors all spreadsheets you have access to. You can specify 'only alert for shared spreadsheets' if you want to filter out your personal ones.
Will it include the creator's name and spreadsheet title?
Yes, Notis includes relevant metadata. You'll see who created it, when, and the title they gave it.
What if my team creates dozens of temporary sheets?
Mention that in your setup: 'only alert for spreadsheets without TEMP in the name'. Notis will filter those out automatically.
