Retrieve Only Relevant Sheet Context for Company Research
Bring just the useful rows into a new Bigpicture research request, based on spreadsheet filters you specify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Spreadsheet by Data Filter
Returns the spreadsheet at the given id, filtered by the specified data filters. use this tool when you need to retrieve specific subsets of data from a google sheet based on criteria like a1 notation, developer metadata, or grid ranges.
Why this helps
Large spreadsheets make it slow to find the few records that matter for a single research question.
- Retrieve a selected subset instead of broad sheet data
- Use spreadsheet metadata or ranges as context
- Keep one research request focused on relevant records
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Google Sheets once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the target spreadsheet, data filters, and research question.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Tell Notis how the returned subset should inform Bigpicture research.
- 5Test with one real company request and a filter that should match.
Questions about this workflow
What kinds of filters can this action use?
It returns spreadsheet data filtered by criteria such as A1 notation, developer metadata, or grid ranges.
Does it search by an arbitrary company name automatically?
Only if the request includes suitable data filters. Specify how the company should be identified in the sheet.
What if the filter returns no data?
Notis should report that no matching context was returned and avoid filling the gap with assumptions.
