Start Each Day With Full Calendar Visibility
Get a complete picture of your day before it starts. Notis sends a Slack summary every morning with all your events, times, attendees, and links, so you enter the day prepared and grounded.
Trigger
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
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
Many neurodivergent founders experience decision fatigue and anxiety about their upcoming day when they lack a clear picture upfront. A single, comprehensive morning sync reduces cognitive load and prevents surprises throughout the day.
- Single, consolidated view of your entire day in one Slack message
- Reduce anxiety by knowing exactly what's coming
- Quickly spot overlaps or tight scheduling
- Share your day context with your team by posting to a group channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Daily Calendar Summary' in the Automations tab.
- 3Write this prompt: 'Every morning at 8am, send me a Slack message summarizing my entire calendar for the day. Include event titles, times, duration, attendees, and any Zoom or Meet links.'
- 4Select 'Calendar Event Sync' as your trigger and set it to run once daily.
- 5Choose a Slack channel (your personal DM or team channel like #standup).
- 6Verify the first summary arrives the next morning.
Questions about this workflow
What time should the summary arrive?
Tell Notis your preferred time in the prompt, e.g., '7am' or '9am.' Most founders prefer early morning.
Can I exclude certain types of events?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Skip personal time blocks and focus time' or 'Exclude 1-on-1s from the summary.'
Will the summary include events added after I create the automation?
Yes. The next morning's summary will include any events added in between.
