Hello there

is there a way we could trigger a workspace as soon as a record is added to google sheet

Thanks

Have a look at the Google Sheet API and see if there are any REST triggers that can be configured. You could then look into having those notify an FME Server topic which is connected to a workspace.

A simpler (but less efficient) solution would be to poll the google sheet every x minutes and check for changes.

If the API doesnt provide the solution you should check https://zapier.com/app/dashboard

for possible integration, I am using Zapier it to trigger a topic on FME Cloud and it works like a charm.
