Why this helps
Founders experience wins via email but don't share them with their team, missing opportunities to build morale and celebrate progress together.
- Boost team morale by celebrating wins publicly and regularly
- Keep team energy high by surfacing successes that might otherwise get missed
- Build a culture of recognition and celebration around major achievements
- Create a lightweight system for team visibility into business wins
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: ask Notis 'When a major client or investor emails me, post a celebration to #wins' or use the portal.
- 3Describe the outcome: 'Post an enthusiastic message: Great news! We just heard from [sender]. [Subject summary]. Let's celebrate this!'
- 4Select the trigger: New Gmail Message Received from key senders (investors, major clients, partners).
- 5Choose a Slack channel like #wins or #celebrations for run reports and posted messages.
- 6Test by having a colleague email you and verifying a celebration message appears.
Questions about this workflow
How do I define which emails are milestone-worthy?
In your prompt, describe what counts (e.g., 'emails from any investor,' 'first emails from new clients,' 'emails mentioning orders or deals').
Can I customize the celebration message?
Absolutely. Tell Notis in your prompt what style you prefer (e.g., 'be enthusiastic with lots of emojis' or 'keep it professional').
What if I don't want to celebrate every email from a client?
Refine your prompt with keywords (e.g., 'only celebrate if the email mentions we won a deal' or 'celebrate first-time emails only').
