Review your email weekly with a scheduled Slack reminder
Instead of letting emails pile up, Notis sends you a weekly reminder at a time you choose to review pending emails and close out loose ends.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Founders let emails accumulate for weeks, leading to missed opportunities, frustrated stakeholders, and the anxiety of a bloated inbox they can't face.
- Build a sustainable email routine by reviewing once per week instead of constantly
- Reduce inbox-related anxiety by knowing you have a scheduled time to address it
- Catch emails that slipped through the cracks before they become urgent
- Avoid the sense of being overwhelmed by batching email review into a single session
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: ask Notis 'Remind me every Friday at 4pm to review my email' or use the portal.
- 3Describe the outcome: 'Post a reminder message with prompts like: How many unread? Any overdue responses? Any outstanding action items?'
- 4Select the trigger: Recurring schedule (weekly).
- 5Choose a Slack channel for reminders.
- 6Test the automation by manually running it to confirm the message arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the day or time the reminder runs?
Yes. Edit the automation to specify your preferred time (e.g., 'every Friday at 3pm' or 'every Tuesday morning at 9am').
Can I customize the reminder message?
Absolutely. Tell Notis in your prompt what you want the reminder to include (e.g., 'include a link to my inbox' or 'ask me to check on client emails').
What if I don't want to be reminded one week?
You can pause the automation temporarily or ask Notis to disable it from Slack. Re-enable it when you're ready.
