Review weekly retention cohorts in Google Sheets
Bring the cohort view into your weekly review without rebuilding it from scratch.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Retention analysis can become a one-off query that is hard to compare week to week when its definitions and reporting steps are not repeated consistently.
- Repeat the same cohort definition on a regular schedule.
- Keep results in an accessible table for team reviews.
- Spend less time rebuilding queries and preparing spreadsheet updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickHouse and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify the cohort definition, retention window, ClickHouse source, and spreadsheet range.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cohort query and verify the output against your expected definition.
Questions about this workflow
What cohort details should I specify?
State the cohort starting event, grouping period, retention event, date window, and any relevant filters. Those definitions need to reflect your own product data.
Can I compare multiple weeks?
Describe the date range and output structure you want. The spreadsheet must have a suitable range or table for the results.
