Start Your Day With A Task Briefing
Every morning at 8am, Notis fetches your top tasks from Airtable and posts them to Slack. No context-switching, no digging through your database—your day is laid out for you.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List records
Retrieves records from an airtable table, with options for filtering, sorting, pagination, and specifying returned fields.
Why this helps
ADHD founders need structure and clear daily goals. Checking the task list feels overwhelming; a curated morning briefing reduces overwhelm and keeps focus.
- Clear task list delivered to Slack every morning
- Reduces morning overwhelm and decision paralysis
- Set-it-and-forget-it scheduling
- Personalized based on your filters and priorities
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable to Notis (one-time setup)
- 2Ask Notis: 'Every weekday morning at 8am, send me a Slack message listing my top 10 pending tasks from Airtable, with their priority and deadline'
- 3Tell Notis which fields to include in the briefing and any filters (e.g., only high-priority, only tasks due today)
- 4Choose which Slack channel receives the briefing
- 5Confirm the schedule and adjust time if needed
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the time or frequency?
Yes. You can ask Notis to run daily, weekday-only, weekly, or on a custom schedule. Just tell it your preferred time and frequency.
What if I have no pending tasks?
Notis can send a confirmation like 'All clear!' or skip the message entirely. Let Notis know your preference.
Can I include custom fields in the briefing?
Absolutely. Tell Notis exactly what to include: 'Show task name, priority, owner, and deadline.' It formats them nicely in Slack.
