Daily Standups Without the Meeting
Async teams skip meetings. Schedule a daily Telegram digest that pulls your team's updates from Coda and sends them out every morning.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Synchronous standups don't scale for distributed founders. Manual digests get forgotten and async updates stay siloed in Coda.
- Replace meetings with async digests that respect time zones
- Automate standup data collection and distribution
- Give ADHD team members a predictable update routine
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every weekday at 9am, pull status updates from my Coda doc and send them to Telegram.' Or set up in Automations.
- 3Select 'Recurring Schedule (Cron)' and choose 'Business Days 9:00 AM'.
- 4Specify the Coda page(s) to pull from.
- 5Choose your Telegram team channel for the digest.
- 6Test by triggering it manually and verifying the summary appears in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the digest format?
Yes. Tell Notis how you want updates formatted: 'Show each person's updates separately with emojis for status.'
What if someone doesn't have an update on a given day?
You can set it up to skip no-shows or ping them. Notis adapts based on your preference.
Can this work at different times for different time zones?
Notis can send multiple digests at different times. Tell it 'send at 9am PT, 12pm ET, and 5pm UTC.'
