Close Your Day With Clarity
As your workday ends, Notis sends an email summarizing today's Slack highlights. No evening doom-scrolling, just the facts you need to plan tomorrow.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Draft
Sends the specified, existing draft to the recipients in the to, cc, and bcc headers.
Why this helps
You end your day either unaware of important Slack activity or exhausted from scrolling. You can't remember what happened and what you should do tomorrow.
- End your day informed without checking Slack
- Reduce evening anxiety by knowing what happened
- Plan tomorrow with full context
- Preserve work-life boundaries by batching notifications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gmail.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every day at 5pm, send an email summarizing today's Slack activity.'
- 3Notis will use a Cron trigger (daily, at 5pm or your preferred time) and Send Email as your action.
- 4Specify which channels and keywords to include.
- 5Set your email as the recipient; Notis will send it before you leave.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose the time?
Yes. Pick any time that matches your end-of-day routine (4pm, 5pm, 6pm, etc.).
What if nothing important happened today?
Notis still sends a summary (even if it's 'Quiet day'), so you're never left wondering.
Can I get this in the morning instead?
Absolutely. Use it as an 'overnight summary' to start your day informed.
