Keep an automatic activity log of all commits
Every commit in your repo gets logged to Google Sheets automatically. No manual entry. Your full development timeline, timestamped and organized, ready for reviews, reports, or just knowing what happened when.

Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
You finish a sprint but can't remember what you built or when. Reconstructing timelines for standups or demos means scrolling through GitHub history. You're also not capturing team activity in one central place.
- Automatic timeline of work without manual updates
- Single source of truth for team activity and productivity
- Easy to generate reports or summaries for retrospectives and demos
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every time a commit is pushed to my repo, log it to my activity sheet with the author, commit message, timestamp, and branch.'
- 3Select 'Commit Event' as your trigger and choose a notification channel.
- 4Set up your sheet with columns for Author, Message, Timestamp, Branch, and Commit Link. Notis will fill them in automatically.
- 5Push a test commit and confirm it appears in your sheet within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can I track commits from specific branches only?
Yes. You can ask Notis to log only commits to main, specific release branches, or exclude experimental branches.
What if I have a lot of commits? Will the sheet get too large?
You can ask Notis to archive old rows automatically, or filter by date range. You can also have it create a new sheet each month.
Can I include PR links or issue numbers?
Absolutely. If your commits reference issue numbers (like 'Fix #123'), Notis can extract and link to them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Sheets actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
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.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
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.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
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.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
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.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
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.
