Start every week with a prioritized action plan
Monday mornings are clearer when Notis has already sorted your projects by urgency and effort. Your planning sheet is ready before your first meeting.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Weekly planning takes forever because you manually review Airtable, estimate effort, weigh urgency, and then reprioritize. By the time you're done, it's already Tuesday.
- Save 30+ minutes of weekly planning time
- Use consistent prioritization criteria every week
- Visually see what's urgent vs. important vs. small
- Reduce decision fatigue by automating sort logic
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable (projects/tasks base) and Google Sheets to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'Every Monday at 8:30am, pull all open projects, sort by due date and effort level, then populate a Priority Plan sheet with columns for Task, Urgency, Effort, and Owner'
- 3Set trigger to 'Weekly Monday 8:30 AM' and action to 'Batch Update Spreadsheet'
- 4Specify in your prompt how to determine urgency (e.g., 'Due within 3 days = High', 'No due date = Low')
- 5Test by running manually and reviewing the sorted output for accuracy
Questions about this workflow
How does it estimate effort?
If you store effort estimates in Airtable (t-shirt sizing or hours), Notis uses those. Otherwise, tell Notis your estimation rule.
Can it exclude certain projects (like blocked or waiting)?
Yes. Specify in your prompt to exclude projects marked as 'Blocked' or 'On Hold.'
Does it account for existing completed work from previous weeks?
It scans only open projects. Completed items are excluded by default.
Can team members see their assigned items highlighted?
Yes. Tell Notis to color-code rows by owner so each person sees their workload.
