Trigger
Webhook received

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
Useful answers get lost when investigations end as chat responses with no structured record.
- Preserve findings in a structured spreadsheet
- Make later comparisons easier
- Keep the answer close to the supporting data
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to answer the search question in the incoming request using available Algolia data and write a structured result table to the specified Google spreadsheet.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger for the automation.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this require an existing table?
The SQL action operates on detected spreadsheet tables. Specify a spreadsheet with a recognizable table structure, or use another Sheets action to create the initial data.
Can the workflow answer questions that require unavailable history?
No. Supply the history or baseline if Algolia does not return it.
