Turn tracking requests in a sheet into Amplitude event types

Give tracking requests a clear path from the spreadsheet into the Amplitude event catalog.

Trigger

New Rows in Google Sheet

Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.

Action

Create Amplitude Event Type

Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration

Why this helps

Event requests are scattered across rows, and defining them in the analytics catalog becomes an easy task to forget.

  • Move event requests into the Amplitude catalog
  • Use metadata present in the request
  • Reduce repetitive catalog setup

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Amplitude once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Describe which new rows are approved tracking requests and what event details to use, including category and metadata when available.
  • 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request row and review the event type in Amplitude.

Questions about this workflow

Will this invent a category or event description?

No. Include the needed category and metadata in the row or your instruction. The workflow should not guess details that are missing.

Should every new row create an event type?

No. Describe which new rows qualify as tracking requests so unrelated rows do not create catalog entries.
