Your Weekly Slack Recap, Delivered to Email
You don't have time to reread Slack every week. Notis sends an email Friday afternoon with the week's highlights, decisions, and action items. Perfect for retrospectives or stakeholder updates.
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
Weekly retrospectives require digging through Slack history. You can't remember what decisions were made or which action items matter most.
- Prepare for retrospectives and one-on-ones in seconds
- Share progress with stakeholders without manual effort
- Preserve critical decisions in your email archive
- Reduce decision blindness by reviewing highlights regularly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gmail.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every Friday at 4pm, send an email summarizing this week's important Slack conversations.'
- 3Notis will use a Cron trigger (weekly) and Send Email as your action.
- 4Specify which channels and keywords to include.
- 5Set the recipient (your email, a team address, or both).
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose which day and time?
Yes. Friday afternoon is common, but pick whatever works for your team's rhythm.
How does Notis decide what's important?
Notis tracks reactions, thread replies, and keywords you specify. You can train it with feedback from the first few emails.
Can I share this with my whole team?
Absolutely. Notis can send it to a team email or forward it to everyone. Great for all-hands or retrospectives.
