Alert Your Team Instantly When Critical Metrics Change
When a key metric in your spreadsheet crosses a threshold you care about, Notis creates an Asana task immediately. No checking dashboards, no email chains.
Trigger
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often miss critical metric changes because monitoring dashboards requires context-switching and active attention. By the time you check, hours have passed.
- Never miss a metric shift that matters to your business
- Get notified through Asana instead of checking dashboards
- Respond to changes in real time instead of retroactively
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Asana to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Create a task in Asana if [metric column] drops below [number] or rises above [number].' (Or portal: Automations > New, describe the condition and metric column.)
- 3Specify what you want the task to say: for example, 'If churn rate exceeds 5%, create a task called Investigate Churn Spike.'
- 4Test by adding or modifying a value in your metric column to cross the threshold.
- 5Enable the automation. Notis monitors your metric continuously and creates tasks only when thresholds change.
Questions about this workflow
How often does Notis check the metric?
Notis polls your sheet for changes every few minutes. When a metric crosses your threshold, it creates a task within minutes.
Can I set different thresholds for different metrics?
Yes, create separate automations for each metric. For example, one for revenue targets, one for churn rate, one for support backlog.
What if the metric fluctuates around the threshold?
Notis creates a task each time the threshold is crossed. You can prevent duplicate tasks by adding a condition: 'Only if no task was created in the last hour.'
