You could build a function that checks for changes. One way to do this is by comparing multiple instances of the same spreadsheet. If there are differences, you could email yourself. Using the time driven trigger, you can check every minute, hour, day, or week (depending on your needs).

var sheet = **whatever**;//The spreadsheet where you will be making changes
var range = **whatever**;//The range that you will be checking for changes
var compSheet = **whatever**;//The sheet that you will compare with for changes
function checkMatch(){
  var myCurrent = sheet.getRange(range).getValues();
  var myComparison = compSheet.getRange(range).getvalues();
  if(myCurrent == myComparison){//Checks to see if there are any differences
    for(i=0;i

Then from Resources>Current project's triggers you can set checkMatch to run every minute.
