Summarize CircleCI build metrics from Google Sheets
Turn build data already recorded in Sheets into a recurring metric summary that is easier to review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
Why this helps
Build metrics are harder to act on when they sit in rows without a quick summary.
- See an aggregate instead of scanning rows
- Review build metrics on a steady cadence
- Use recorded data to inform pipeline improvements
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to aggregate the chosen metric in your build data by the specified matching value and summarize the result.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real spreadsheet example and confirm the metric and grouping.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action calculate build durations directly from CircleCI?
The aggregate action operates on spreadsheet rows. First ensure the metric you want to summarize is present in Sheets.
Can I choose what gets grouped?
Yes. Name the match column, match value, and metric column in your instruction, using columns that exist in your data.

Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
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.
