Start your day with a Slack email digest
Your inbox is chaotic. Notis sends a simple morning digest of your important emails directly to Slack, so you get context without digging through Gmail.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Founders start their day feeling overwhelmed by email volume, spending 30-60 minutes on Gmail just to find the 3-4 emails that actually matter.
- Reduce startup friction by reading your key emails directly in Slack at a set time
- Avoid the anxiety of email volume by knowing Notis surfaces only what matters
- Save 20-30 minutes daily by replacing Gmail browsing with a concise digest
- Catch important emails first thing without context-switching between apps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: ask Notis 'Send me a daily digest of important emails every morning at 8am' or use the portal.
- 3Describe the outcome: 'Post a summary listing 5-10 key emails with sender, subject, and a one-line preview to #inbox-digest.'
- 4Select the trigger: Recurring schedule (daily, or 'every weekday at 8am').
- 5Choose the Slack channel where the digest should post (create #inbox-digest if needed).
- 6Test by manually running the automation once to see the format and confirm it meets your needs.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis decide which emails are 'important'?
You define it. Tell Notis in your prompt what makes an email important: senders, keywords, subject patterns, or starred messages. It learns your priorities.
Can I change the time the digest runs?
Yes. Edit the automation to specify any time that works for you (e.g., 'every weekday at 7am' or 'every Sunday at 10am').
What if I don't want the digest on certain days?
Customize the schedule in your prompt (e.g., 'weekdays only' or 'skip Fridays'). You can also pause the automation manually.
