Create analytics categories from new task lists

Keep your event taxonomy aligned with the way your team organizes work.

Trigger

New Task List Created

Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected.

Action

Create Amplitude Event Category

Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status

Why this helps

New work areas appear faster than analytics categories, leaving event taxonomies inconsistent.

  • Keep taxonomy organized
  • Reduce setup delay for new work areas
  • Create consistent reporting structure

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and Amplitude once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that creates a matching Amplitude event category for each new task list.
  • 3Pick New Task List Created as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one new list.

Questions about this workflow

What if the category already exists?

Tell Notis to check existing categories first and report duplicates instead of creating another one.

Can the category name be normalized?

Yes. Include naming rules in the plain language instruction.
