Turn an on-demand search into a structured sheet
Capture a focused search as rows and columns that are easier to scan, sort, and share.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create sheet from JSON
Creates a new google spreadsheet and populates its first worksheet from `sheet json`, which must be non-empty as its first item's keys establish the headers.
Why this helps
Useful search results are hard to compare when they remain as unstructured links and snippets.
- Convert a one-off search into an organized artifact.
- Make results easier to scan and compare.
- Keep source links attached to findings.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and name it for structured search results.
- 3In one instruction, ask Autom to search the request topic and create a spreadsheet populated with result rows and the columns useful for your review.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
What format should I request?
Ask for a non-empty set of row objects with consistent keys, such as title, URL, source, and summary.
Can the webhook provide the search topic?
Yes. The incoming HTTP request can provide the topic that the instruction uses for the search.
