Generate Weekly Work Summary Reports Automatically
Weekly retrospectives shouldn't require digging through Asana. Notis generates a summary sheet every Friday—completed work, progress metrics, and week-over-week trends—ready for review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
Why this helps
Compiling a weekly summary means scrolling through completed tasks, counting metrics, and manually building a narrative. This admin work feels urgent but it's strategic waste.
- Weekly summary generated automatically every Friday (or your preferred day)
- Includes completed tasks, metrics, and progress trends
- Saves 1+ hour per week on report compilation
- Consistent data makes week-over-week comparison easy
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'Every Friday, generate a weekly summary sheet aggregating all completed tasks this week, task count by status, hours worked, and priority breakdown from my Asana project.'
- 3Specify which Asana project to summarize and what metrics to include (count of completed items, in-progress count, overdue count, average time to completion, etc.).
- 4Select a recurring schedule (e.g., 'Every Friday at 5pm').
- 5Pick a notification channel.
- 6Test by running the automation manually—a summary sheet should populate with this week's aggregated data.
Questions about this workflow
Can I include custom metrics or formulas?
Yes. Tell Notis which custom calculations you need (e.g., total story points completed, average task duration, blockers count). It will compute and include them.
Does it create a new sheet each week or update one sheet?
Notis can do either. New sheet each week creates an archive; updating one sheet keeps a rolling summary. You choose.
Can the report include team member breakdown?
Absolutely. Tell Notis to segment work by assignee—who completed what, how much, etc. Perfect for team performance visibility.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Google Sheets actions

Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.

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.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
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.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
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.
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.
