Instant Issue Search: Query Your Database via Webhook
'Does someone have a ticket for X?' shouldn't require searching Linear or scrolling a spreadsheet. Send a webhook with the issue name, and Notis queries your Google Sheets database and returns matching rows instantly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Execute SQL on Spreadsheet
Execute sql queries against google sheets tables. supports select, insert, update, and delete operations with familiar sql syntax. tables are automatically detected and mapped from the spreadsheet structure.
Why this helps
Searching across multiple issues wastes time and breaks flow. Founders repeat searches, forget where issues live, or re-open Linear just to answer one question. Making issue lookup frictionless removes a common interruption.
- Instant issue search
- Reduced context switching
- Database-backed lookups
- Fast information retrieval
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets to Notis and ensure your issue database sheet is set up.
- 2Create automation: 'When a webhook request arrives with an issue name, query my issue database sheet for rows matching that name and return the results.'
- 3Set your notification channel.
- 4Choose 'Webhook' trigger and Notis provides the webhook URL.
- 5Test by sending a sample webhook request with an issue name and verifying the results are returned.
Questions about this workflow
What if there are multiple matches?
Notis returns all matching rows. You can refine the query prompt to handle ties (e.g., 'return only exact matches' or 'return the most recent').
Can I search by status or other fields?
Yes. Ask Notis to support multiple query types (by name, status, assignee, etc.).
