When does a bot execute?

I have an app that has a bot that fires when an update occurs and based upon a value of a field in a data table (a GSheet if it makes a difference). The twist is that data table is shared between two apps therefore an update of the same row of data could be triggered by either app. The second app does not have the same bot. Neither does the second app set the value of the particular table field. 

Would updating the row in the second app somehow trigger the bot in the first app to fire?

I am quite new to bots and I guess I could test this but I thought I would ask if anyone knew to save me a bit of time. Thanks

Put simply, a bot only responds to data changes made within its own app. Changes made to the data source directly or by other apps will not trigger a bot in this app.
