Billable Work Tracking Automation
Every issue that arrives automatically logs to your billing sheet. No more hunting for unbilled work at month-end or losing track of client projects.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
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.
Why this helps
You undercharge because you forget to log billable work. Month-end invoicing requires digging through Jira to find what was actually completed. Revenue visibility suffers.
- Never lose track of billable hours or work
- Accurate month-end invoicing
- Transparent revenue per client
- Simpler financial forecasting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Google Sheets to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'Log each new issue to my billing sheet with client, project, and date'
- 3Select the trigger: New Issue from your Jira project
- 4Notis appends rows to your billing sheet with issue details
- 5Configure to extract client and project info from Jira fields or issue naming
- 6Test by creating an issue for a real client
Questions about this workflow
Does this handle billable vs. non-billable issues?
Yes. Specify in your prompt which issues to log: 'Only log issues tagged as billable' or 'Log all except internal projects.'
Can I track time in Sheets instead of Jira?
Yes. Notis can append with an empty time field for you to fill in, or integrate with time-tracking data if available in Jira custom fields.
How do I handle client billing rates?
Store rates in a reference sheet and Notis can calculate billable value automatically: 'Multiply hours by the rate in the Rates sheet.'
