Webhook Import: Bulk-Add External Tasks to Sheets
Work comes from multiple sources—your site form, a third-party tool, client tickets. Notis webhook automations funnel all that work into your Sheets tracker—no manual re-entry.
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
Founders juggle work from many sources. Manually copying external tasks into Sheets is repetitive and error-prone.
- External tasks automatically appear in Sheets
- No manual re-entry or copy-paste
- Multiple external sources funnel to one sheet
- Centralizes work from all platforms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'When an external service POSTs task data to my Notis webhook, add that task to my Sheets tracker.' Tell Notis which Sheets sheet to update.
- 3Specify which data fields to extract from the webhook payload (task name, source, date, priority, etc.) and map them to Sheets columns.
- 4Select 'Notis Webhook' as the trigger. Notis will generate a unique webhook URL for you to share with external services.
- 5Pick a notification channel.
- 6Test by POSTing sample task data to your webhook URL—the task should appear in Sheets.
Questions about this workflow
How do I get my external tool to POST to the webhook?
Notis gives you a webhook URL to share. Your external tool's webhook settings should POST to that URL with your task data as JSON. Notis handles the parsing.
Can I filter which tasks get added?
Yes. Tell Notis to only add tasks that meet certain criteria (e.g., only high-priority tasks, or only tasks from specific sources).
What if the external tool's data format differs from my Sheets structure?
Tell Notis how to map the external fields to your Sheets columns. Notis transforms the data on import.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Google Sheets actions

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.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.

Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
