I’m trying to figure out how to get notifications from a specific app on my Android phone into Airtable using Make.com (formerly Integromat). Has anyone done this before?
I want to set up a workflow that catches new notifications as they come in and sends them to a spreadsheet. I’ve played around with HTTP requests in Make.com, but I’m stuck on how to actually receive the notifications from my phone.
Any tips on setting this up would be super helpful! I’m not sure if I need a special app on my phone or if there’s a way to do it just through Make.com.
I’ve implemented a similar setup using IFTTT as the intermediary. It’s a bit simpler than Tasker if you’re not looking to dive deep into Android automation. Here’s what worked for me:
Install IFTTT on your Android device.
Create an IFTTT applet that triggers on notifications from your specific app.
Set the action to make a web request to a Make.com webhook.
In Make.com, create a scenario with a webhook trigger.
Add an Airtable module to your Make.com scenario to insert the data.
The beauty of this method is its simplicity. IFTTT handles the Android side smoothly, and Make.com’s visual interface makes setting up the Airtable connection a breeze. Just be mindful of IFTTT’s free tier limitations if you’re dealing with a high volume of notifications.
Let me know if you need any clarification on the IFTTT setup. It’s a solid alternative if Tasker seems overwhelming.
I’ve actually tackled a similar project recently. While Make.com is powerful, it can’t directly access Android notifications. You’ll need a middleware solution. I had success using Tasker on Android to intercept notifications and send them to a webhook. Then I set up a Make.com scenario with a webhook trigger to catch that data and push it into Airtable.
The trickiest part was configuring Tasker correctly to filter for the specific app and format the notification data properly. Once that was working, the Make.com side was relatively straightforward. Just make sure your webhook URL in Tasker matches the one in your Make.com scenario.
It took some trial and error, but the end result works flawlessly. Let me know if you want more details on the Tasker setup - that’s really the key piece to making this work.
hey, i’ve done this before. try using pushbullet on ur phone to send notifications via webhook. in make.com, set a webhook trigger to grab them and send to airtable. works well once pushbullet is configured tho.
