Query your spreadsheets like a database
External event triggers a SQL query on your Google Sheets data. Results are calculated and stored instantly without manual analysis.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Execute SQL on Spreadsheet
Execute sql queries against google sheets tables. supports select, insert, update, and delete operations with familiar sql syntax. tables are automatically detected and mapped from the spreadsheet structure.
Why this helps
You store data in Google Sheets but manually filter, sort, and calculate. Doing the same analysis weekly is repetitive and error-prone.
- Run consistent calculations on your data without formula errors
- Automate data aggregation across multiple sheets
- Generate fresh analytics instantly without manual wrangling
- Build more sophisticated queries than spreadsheet formulas allow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When an external event triggers (webhook from Zapier, form submission, etc.), execute a SQL query on my Sales sheet that sums revenue by region and appends results to an Analytics sheet'
- 3Set trigger to 'Incoming webhook' and action to 'Execute SQL on Spreadsheet'
- 4Write your SQL query (e.g., 'SELECT Region, SUM(Revenue) FROM Sheet1 GROUP BY Region ORDER BY SUM(Revenue) DESC')
- 5Test by triggering the webhook and verifying the query results appear in your analytics sheet
Questions about this workflow
What SQL dialect does it support?
Notis uses standard SQL with common functions (SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, JOIN, aggregates). Check docs for the full function list.
Can it query across multiple sheets?
Yes. Write a JOIN query or UNION to combine data from multiple sheets.
How large can my datasets be?
Google Sheets SQL can handle thousands of rows. Very large datasets may be slow; consider splitting into multiple queries.
Can it auto-email the results?
Notis executes the query and stores results. You can set up a follow-up automation to email or Slack the results.
