We have added a new Google Sheets trigger - Watch for cell change and send the row.

This trigger lets you keep track of all updates in the cells of your sheet. Trigger works on webhooks and sends events immediately when a cell is updated and a row is added.

You’ll need to make additional setup in your spreadsheet to use this trigger, but first, connect your Google Sheets account to Albato.
