Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out how to get notifications from a specific app on my Samsung phone into Airtable or Google Sheets using Make.com (formerly Integromat). I’ve played around with HTTP requests but I’m stuck on how to actually capture the notifications as they come in on my phone.

Does anyone have experience setting this up? I’m looking for a way to automatically trigger the Make.com flow whenever a new notification pops up from the app I’m tracking. Any tips or pointers would be super helpful!

I’m pretty new to working with webhooks and HTTP requests, so I’m not sure if I’m missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

have u tried using IFTTT? it can connect ur phone notifications to other services. u could set up a trigger for the app notifications, then use IFTTT to send data to a webhook in make.com. from there u can route it to airtable. might be simpler than messin with HTTP requests directly

For your Samsung-to-Airtable setup, I’d recommend exploring Zapier as an intermediary. It has native integrations for both Android notifications and Airtable, which could simplify your workflow. You’d need to install the Zapier app on your phone, configure it to listen for notifications from your target app, then create a Zap that sends that data to Airtable. This approach bypasses the need for complex HTTP requests or additional plugins. Just be aware that some advanced features might require a paid Zapier plan. It’s worth testing to see if it meets your specific needs before committing to a particular solution.

I recently faced a similar challenge and found that using a combination of Tasker and the AutoNotification plugin on my Samsung allowed me to capture the relevant notifications. I configured Tasker to trigger a webhook in Make.com, ensuring that the JSON payload was formatted correctly before sending the HTTP POST request. Although it took some trial and error to fine-tune the setup, integrating these tools turned out to be a reliable solution for automating notifications into Airtable.
