Magic Cell Notifications
Use this add-on to setup email notifications on a Google Sheet when specific cells reach set values
This add-on will load a sidebar menu for you and you can then begin to set up notification rules on your Google Sheet. You can add as many rules as you like and the add-on will keep a track of them. You can track single cell references on a worksheet called ‘Notification Rules’ and you now have the option to track across Rows , Columns or Ranges entirely. You can view these worksheets and even amend the rules directly on the sheet.
Once the spreadsheet is changed and the values reach the notification rules you have set you will automatically receive an notification via your chosen method to inform you. You can also add multiple email addresses to one notification rule simply by separating them by a comma.
You can also use webhook notifications instead of emails if you prefer. Webhooks you can use are:
Email
Slack
IFTTT (76 characters)
Zapier
Discord
Google Chat
Microsoft Teams
Magic Cell Notifications is free for up to 5 Rules (Single Cell & Multi Rule) or 1 Rule (Row, Column, Range) however for unlimited rules there is an annual subscription charge £5.99. Domain wide subscriptions are £59.99 for unlimited accounts within your domain. Please see our pricing page for more information.
