Start Your Day Focused: Daily Overdue Issues Reminder

Neurodivergent founders struggle with invisible priorities. This workflow sends a daily Slack reminder at your preferred time listing all overdue issues, so you start each day with clarity.

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

Overdue issues pile up silently in Jira. Without a daily list, important deadlines slip and work accumulates invisibly.

  • Start each day with a clear, prioritized list of what needs attention
  • Catch deadline slippages early before they become critical
  • Reduce the cognitive load of manually scanning Jira for at-risk items

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Slack to Notis (one-time).
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'Every weekday at 9 AM, create a Slack reminder listing all issues in Jira that have passed their due date or are due today, ordered by priority.'
  • 3Select 'Cron Trigger' and set your preferred time (e.g., 'weekdays at 9 AM').
  • 4Choose your personal DMs or team channel for the reminder destination.
  • 5Test by running it manually and adjust the time or filter as needed.

Questions about this workflow

Can I customize which statuses are included?

Yes. Add to your prompt: 'Only show issues that are not yet marked Done' or 'only show In Progress or To Do.'

What if there are 50 overdue issues?

Ask Notis to prioritize: 'Show the top 10 by priority first, and include a count of remaining items.'

Can I get this weekly instead?

Absolutely. Just say 'every Monday at 9 AM' in your prompt instead of weekdays.
