Send MSG91 SMS alerts when Google Sheets usage exceeds your limit
Introduction
Keep an eye on usage limits without constantly checking spreadsheets. This automation pulls usage data from Google Sheets, calculates the usage percentage, and sends an MSG91 Template SMS alert when the usage crosses your defined threshold.
Benefits
- Automatically alerts users when usage goes above a set limit (e.g., 80%)
- Reduces manual monitoring of usage/quotas in spreadsheets
- Helps prevent service interruptions by notifying users early
- Works on a schedule, so it runs reliably in the background
Trigger Event
On a scheduled interval (cron), the automation fetches the latest usage row(s) from your selected Google Sheet.
Actions
- Retrieve usage data from Google Sheets (including fields like Current Usage, Usage Limit, and Mobile Number).
- Calculate the usage percentage using the sheet values.
- Check whether the calculated usage percentage is greater than 80%.
- If the threshold is exceeded, send an MSG91 Template SMS to the mobile number from the sheet row.
