Stay on top of new spreadsheets matching your criteria
You have a saved search for 'Client Contracts' or 'Q3 Planning'. When a new spreadsheet matches that search, Notis alerts Telegram. Perfect for discovering new relevant docs without browsing Google Drive.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Search Match
Triggers when a new spreadsheet appears that matches a saved search. This trigger uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when spreadsheets matching the search criteria are newly created or become visible to the user.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
You have standing searches in Google Drive for important spreadsheet types (budget sheets, client trackers, campaigns), but new matching spreadsheets appear without notifying you, forcing periodic manual searches.
- Discover new relevant spreadsheets automatically without browsing Drive
- Alert your team to new resources matching criteria they care about
- Reduce onboarding time for new team members finding relevant docs
- Catch duplicate efforts when someone creates a sheet that already exists
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Telegram to Notis, and save a search in Google Drive (e.g., 'Client Contracts')
- 2Tell Notis 'Alert me in Telegram when new spreadsheets match my saved search' or create via Automations
- 3Specify your search: 'whenever a new spreadsheet matching my Client Contracts search is created'
- 4Select 'Spreadsheet Search Match' trigger, pick your Telegram channel, and test by creating a new sheet that matches your search
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis find my saved search?
You provide the search name or criteria in your instruction. Notis uses the same Google Drive search syntax you'd use manually, like 'contracts' or 'project in title'.
Will it alert me for spreadsheets I've already seen?
No, Notis only alerts for newly created or newly visible spreadsheets matching your search. It doesn't re-alert for existing matches.
Can I combine this with other Telegram automations?
Yes. All your Telegram automations flow to the same channel. Notis handles multiple triggers sending to one channel without conflicts.
