Designed to run every 45 minutes, it efficiently scans a designated Google Sheet for any newly added rows. Utilizing a custom function node, it intelligently identifies unique new entries based on their ID, preventing duplicate notifications. For each detected new entry, the workflow crafts and dispatches a detailed notification to your Mattermost workspace, including the entry's ID, Name, and Email. This ensures your team is immediately aware of important data additions, facilitating prompt action and improved operational awareness, all without manual oversight.
