Never Miss or Be Unprepared for Your Standup
Consistency builds trust. Notis sends a Slack reminder at your daily standup time, so you're always on time and ready with updates, even if you're focused on deep work.
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
Executive dysfunction and hyperfocus make it easy to lose track of recurring meetings. Standups especially suffer from last-minute cancellations or arrived-unprepared situations that hurt team morale and communication.
- Zero missed standups, zero last-minute scrambles
- Give yourself time to gather updates before the meeting
- Build a reliable pattern that your team can count on
- Reduce manager anxiety about team communication
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Daily Standup Reminder'.
- 3Write this prompt: 'Every weekday at 9:30am, send me a Slack reminder that standup is in 5 minutes. Include a prompt to review my yesterday's wins and today's priorities.'
- 4Set the trigger to 'Recurring Schedule' for weekdays at 9:30am (or your standup time).
- 5Choose a Slack channel (your personal DM).
- 6Verify the reminder arrives the next business day.
Questions about this workflow
What if our standup time changes?
Update the automation with your new time, or tell Notis: 'Move my standup reminder to 10am.'
Can this include my calendar for that time?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Include today's schedule in the standup reminder.'
Will this work across time zones?
Yes. Tell Notis your time zone, and it will adjust automatically if you travel.
