Keep requested distance checks with the plan
When a location question comes in, record the distance result beside the decision it supports.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Distance checks get lost in messages, making travel and service-area decisions harder to revisit.
- Keep distance results tied to requests
- Make location decisions easier to revisit
- Avoid repeated lookups for the same planning question
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect API Ninjas and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for distance checks.
- 3Tell Notis to use the locations in the webhook request, fetch the supported distance result, and update the matching planning entry in Google Sheets.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pair of locations and check the result in the sheet.
Questions about this workflow
What location details are needed?
Include the locations required by the distance lookup you intend to use. The result depends on supported API Ninjas inputs.
Can this update a request already in the sheet?
Yes. Explain how the request is identified in the sheet so Notis can find the intended entry.
