Keep issue status synchronized automatically
Every time a GitHub issue is updated (title, status, labels, assignee changed), Notis syncs it to your tracking sheet. One version of the truth. No stale data. No confusion about which copy is current.
Trigger
Issue Updated
Triggers when an existing issue is updated in a GitHub repository. Monitors issues for any changes such as title edits, body edits, label changes, assignee changes, state transitions (opening, closing, reopening), milestone updates, and comment additions. Only pre-existing issues that receive updates are emitted; newly created issues are excluded. Pull requests are also excluded -- only true issues fire events.
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
Your tracking sheet shows an issue as open, but it's already closed in GitHub. Updates are scattered between systems. You make decisions based on outdated info and waste time tracking down the current state.
- Single source of truth eliminates confusion about issue state
- Automatic sync removes manual update burden
- Real-time status means better decisions and fewer surprises
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue is updated in GitHub (status, labels, assignee, title), update its row in my tracking sheet to match.'
- 3Choose 'Issue Updated' as your trigger and pick your notification channel.
- 4Set up your sheet with Issue, Status, Assigned To, Labels, and GitHub Link. Use the same status values in Sheets as GitHub where possible.
- 5Update a test issue in GitHub and verify your sheet updates automatically.
Questions about this workflow
What if I manually changed the status in Google Sheets? Will it overwrite?
Notis syncs from GitHub to Sheets, so GitHub is the source of truth. You can use Sheets for your own notes in separate columns.
Can I filter to sync only certain issues?
Yes. Sync only issues with specific labels, assigned to certain people, or from particular milestones.
What about closed issues? Do they keep syncing?
You can ask Notis to stop syncing once an issue is closed, or archive closed issues to a separate sheet.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Sheets actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
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.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
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.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified a1 notation range in a google spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
