Generate Your Daily Standup Email Automatically
Every morning, your team asks for a standup update. You scramble through Linear to remember what you actually did yesterday. Notis watches your issues, compiles the progress, and drafts the email for you—just review and send.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
ADHD brains struggle with recalling what they shipped. Standup meetings create panic because you have to context-switch and reconstruct the day. Missing standups or sending vague updates makes you look disorganized.
- Standup draft is ready before your first coffee
- No more blank-page panic or 'I forgot what I did' moments
- Team gets consistent, detailed status every day
- Reduces the mental overhead of context-switching at 9am
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Gmail to Notis.
- 2Create a recurring automation: 'Every weekday at 8am, draft an email summarizing my Linear issues that moved to Done or In Progress since yesterday.'
- 3Tell Notis which statuses to include (e.g., completed, in-progress, blocked) and any fields to highlight.
- 4Notis drafts the email at your chosen time; it waits in Gmail for you to review.
- 5Open Gmail, review the draft, add any notes, and send—takes 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
Questions about this workflow
What if I didn't move any issues yesterday?
Notis still drafts something—it shows what you're currently working on and any blockers. An honest 'nothing shipped, working through X' is better than silence.
Can I customize what goes into the standup?
Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'Only include issues I closed, plus current blockers' or 'Include any issues I commented on.' It adapts to your workflow.
Do I have to send it if I'm not ready?
No—it's a draft. You can edit, hold it, or combine it with other updates before sending. Notis doesn't force anything.
