Your Weekly Recap, Automated
Friday afternoon, you want a summary of the week. Instead of scrolling Slack or asking everyone for updates, Notis creates one for you. A weekly doc lands in Drive every Friday with wins, blockers, and key moments, so you have a quick read instead of a data-gathering session.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Status collection and synthesis drain executive function. Neurodivergent founders need summaries but hate the friction of asking for them and the cognitive load of synthesizing raw input.
- Weekly recap generated without asking anyone for input
- Reduces executive function drain from status collection
- Fast way to stay aware of team momentum and blockers
- Provides a template for one-on-ones or stakeholder updates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every Friday at 3pm, create a weekly summary doc in my Reports folder. Include the top achievements, main blockers, team sentiment, and key decisions from this week's Slack conversations.'
- 3Select 'Cron Schedule' and set it to weekly (Friday, 3pm).
- 4Specify which channels to summarize (e.g., #general, #wins, #blockers).
- 5Test by triggering a manual run to see the format; adjust the tone or fields as needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can I pick different times or days for the summary?
Yes. You can set the cron to any day and time. Morning? Monday? End of month? You control the schedule.
How does Notis know what counts as a win or blocker?
Notis learns from channel names, keywords, and emoji reactions. You can refine the logic in your automation prompt to focus on specific channels or message types.
Can the summary include metrics or just narrative?
Both. Notis can include message counts, top contributors, reaction tallies, or narrative summaries. Specify your preference in the automation.
