Google Sheets Automation Expert – Build Bullet-Proof Lead & Inventory Tracking System (Notifications / Status Logic)

Job ID: 40326991

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

We are looking for an advanced Google Sheets / Apps Script / Automation expert to upgrade our current Google Sheets system used for automotive inventory tracking and marketing workflow.

The goal is to make the system bullet-proof, automated, and safe for multiple users, with automatic notifications and status logic connected to our marketing team.

We already have a working sheet, but we need a senior expert to rebuild / optimize / automate it.

Project context

We manage car inventory for a dealership group and use Google Sheets to track:
• cars in stock
• ads status
• video status
• sales status

Multiple people edit the file:
• sales agents
• marketing team
• video team
• management

Because of this, the system must be safe and automated.

Main tasks

1. Inventory workflow logic

Sales agents add new cars in the sheet.

Each row contains:
• Model
• Consultant
• VIN
• Stock age
• Status
• Video status
• Ad status
• Price

We need validation, dropdowns, protected ranges, and automation.

2. Status change automation

When Status changes to:
• SOLD
• RESERVED
• TRANSFER
• MOBILITATE

The system should automatically:
• send notification to Ads team
• send notification to Marketing
• highlight row
• lock editing if needed

Notification via:
• email

3. Price change automation

When price changes:
• detect change automatically
• log old price / new price
• send notification to Ads team

Example:

“Price changed for VIN XXXXX – update Facebook Ads”

4. Ad status logic

Columns:
• Video = YES / NO
• Ad active = YES / NO
• Status = AVAILABLE / SOLD / RESERVED / TRANSFER

We need logic like:

IF Status = SOLD
→ Ad must be NO
→ notify team

IF Video = NO
→ highlight row

IF Ad active = YES but Status ≠ AVAILABLE
→ error highlight

5. Notifications system

We need automatic notifications when:
• car sold
• price changed
• new car added
• video missing
• ad active but car sold

Prefer:
• Google Apps Script
• email notifications

6. Multi-user safe editing

We need:
• protected columns
• user permissions
• dropdown only editing
• no manual typing where not allowed
• no formula breaking

System must be safe even with 10+ users editing.


7. Dashboard / summary (optional but preferred)

We want summary:
• cars in stock
• cars with ads active
• cars without ads
• sold cars

Required skills

• Advanced Google Sheets
• Google Apps Script
• Automation / triggers
• Data validation / protected ranges
• Workflow logic
• Experience with multi-user sheets
