Capabilities
Toolkits, triggers, and actions available to your AI Employees through Google Sheets.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
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.
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Spreadsheet Properties Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's top-level properties change. Monitors properties such as title, locale, timeZone, and autoRecalc settings.
Spreadsheet Row Changed
Triggers when a looked-up spreadsheet row changes. This trigger monitors a specific row (located by searching for a query value within a user-specified range) and fires when the row's values change, when the row appears, or when the row disappears.
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.
Table Query Result Changed
Triggers when the result set of a saved table query changes in Google Sheets. Detects rows added, removed, or updated in the query output. This trigger monitors the result of a SQL query against a Google Sheets table and fires when changes are detected.
Table Schema Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a table's schema changes in Google Sheets. Monitors columns added/removed/renamed and inferred type/format changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare schemas between polls.
Worksheet Names Changed
Triggers when the set of worksheet/tab names changes in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when sheets are added, deleted, or renamed.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Google Sheets to your Odella AI workforce.
Can I limit what an AI Employee does inside an integration?
Yes. Security policies let you allow or block specific actions per worker. That means you can give a junior AI Employee read-only access while a senior worker handles sends, updates, and approvals.
What happens if an integration is updated or expanded?
Odella keeps integration capabilities up to date automatically. When new actions or triggers become available, your AI Employees can use them without you rebuilding workflows from scratch.
Do I need engineering resources to set up integrations?
No. Odella integrations are native and ready to use out of the box. Your team connects accounts through the platform — no custom API work or middleware required.
Is my data secure when Odella connects to external tools?
Odella uses secure OAuth and credential storage for every integration. You control which tools each AI Employee can access, and sensitive actions can require your approval before they run.
How quickly can I connect Google Sheets to an Odella AI Employee?
Most teams connect Google Sheets in a few minutes through Odella's native integration flow. Choose the AI Employee who needs access, authenticate securely, and define which actions they can perform.
