Gather strategy inputs before reviewing an Alpaca algorithm
Bring the inputs you maintain in Sheets into a focused review when a strategy check is due.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
Why this helps
Strategy reviews slow down when the latest assumptions and notes are spread across files and conversations.
- Gather maintained assumptions for a specific review.
- Reduce context switching before checking a strategy.
- Keep review inputs tied to a clear request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the named Sheets range and summarize it with the Alpaca context available for the review.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the retrieved range and available Alpaca context.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow execute an algorithmic strategy?
No. It gathers sheet inputs and prepares a review summary. The app description does not identify a strategy execution event.
Can it compare inputs with past results?
Only if you maintain those results in the requested range or they are available through your Alpaca connection.
