Automated SQL analysis on spreadsheet data
Instead of manually querying your spreadsheet, Notis runs SQL analyses on a schedule—daily summaries, weekly trends, anything you need.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Execute SQL on Spreadsheet
Execute sql queries against google sheets tables. supports select, insert, update, and delete operations with familiar sql syntax. tables are automatically detected and mapped from the spreadsheet structure.
Why this helps
You need regular data analysis from your spreadsheets but manually running queries is tedious, leading to stale insights.
- Automates routine data analysis without manual effort
- Reduces time spent on repetitive queries and exports
- Ensures you always have fresh analysis without remembering to run it
- Reduces cognitive load for ADHD-prone founders who might forget manual analysis
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every Monday at 8 AM, run this query on my sales data sheet: SELECT product, SUM(revenue) FROM sales_table GROUP BY product ORDER BY revenue DESC.'
- 3Specify your query (in plain English or SQL) and the schedule.
- 4Choose where the results go (new sheet, append to existing sheet, etc.).
- 5Test by running the query manually first.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use SQL functions like COUNT, AVG, SUM?
Yes. Notis supports all standard SQL operations. Just describe what you need: 'Calculate the average deal size by sales rep' and Notis will translate it to SQL.
What if my query returns different columns each time?
Notis adapts. New columns will be created if needed, and the results will always flow into your designated location.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Google Sheets actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
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.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
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 File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
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.
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.
