Overview
You can now use new and updated Google Sheets data to kick off your EveryCatch workflows automatically. Connect the spreadsheets your team already uses so that when new information is added or existing details change, the right workflow starts on its own.
What changed
EveryCatch now lets you use four Google Sheets triggers to start a workflow when a spreadsheet or worksheet is created, a row is added, or an existing row is updated.
- New spreadsheet: Start a workflow when a new Google Sheets file is created in the selected Drive.
- New spreadsheet row: Start a workflow when a new row is appended after the last row of a selected sheet or tab.
- Updated spreadsheet row: Start a workflow when a cell in an existing row is modified. This trigger does not fire for newly added rows.
- New worksheet: Start a workflow when a new tab is added to a selected spreadsheet.
Why this matters
Many teams log inquiries, project details, and reports in Google Sheets. Progress often depends on someone checking for new entries or value changes, then manually starting the next step. With these triggers, EveryCatch connects new and updated sheet data directly to your workflows so follow-up, handoffs, and reporting can move forward automatically.
How it works
In EveryCatch, go to Automation > Workflows, open a workflow, and select Add trigger. Then search for the trigger name or open the Google sheets category.
- Choose the event: Select New spreadsheet, New spreadsheet row, Updated spreadsheet row, or New worksheet based on what should start the workflow.
- Select the source: Choose your connected Google account and Drive. For both row triggers and the worksheet trigger, select the spreadsheet. For New spreadsheet row and Updated spreadsheet row, also select the Sheet (Tab).
- Use the trigger data: Select Find new records, choose a mapping reference, and use the available data in following workflow actions.
- Test the automation: Save the trigger and workflow, then use Test > Test using events to check a matching Google Sheets event. Publish the workflow when it is ready.
Common use cases
- Start a lead intake workflow when a team appends a new inquiry to a sheet.
- Start the next step in a process when an existing row is updated, such as when a team edits a status or project detail.
- Begin a monthly reporting process when a new month tab is added to a reporting spreadsheet.
- Kick off an internal process when a new spreadsheet is created in a selected Drive.
Additional notes
- Google Sheets is marked as Premium in the EveryCatch workflow builder; premium usage charges may apply.
- New spreadsheet row tracks row positions. Append new records at the bottom: inserting rows in the middle can retrigger rows at the end, and deleting rows can cause subsequent new rows to be skipped.
