Weekly Reminders to Stay Focused on What Matters
Every Monday morning, Notis sends your team a WhatsApp reminder: 'Review your top 3 priorities this week. Update Linear with your focus areas.' This takes 5 minutes and ensures everyone knows what everyone else is working on.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Your team focuses on whatever landed in Linear yesterday. Nobody ever steps back to ask, 'Are we doing the most important things right now?' Priorities drift, focus scatters.
- Keep your team laser-focused on what actually matters
- Reduce context-switching by clarifying priorities once per week
- Catch priority drift before it wastes a full week
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Monday at 9am, send the team WhatsApp group a reminder: Review your top 3 priorities for this week and update your Linear status with your focus areas.'
- 3Select 'Scheduled' and set for Monday at your preferred time.
- 4Pick your team WhatsApp group as the channel.
- 5Verify the reminder arrives the following Monday.
Questions about this workflow
What if my team doesn't respond to the reminder?
That's a signal that priorities aren't clear. You can ask Notis to follow up, or it's a cue to have a quick conversation about goal clarity.
Can I send this reminder on a different day or time?
Yes. Pick whatever day and time works for your team's timezone and workflow. Friday review, Monday reset, or midweek check-in—whatever keeps focus sharp.
How do I know if the reminder is actually working?
Check if priority-labeled issues in Linear are consistent with what your team said on WhatsApp. If they match, it's working. If not, you have a real conversation to have.
