End Your Week Aligned, Not Frantic
Your team doesn't sync in real-time. Friday evening, Notis sends a WhatsApp digest of your week: wins, decisions, blockers, next week's theme. Reply with your update. Done.
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
Async teams need weekly alignment, but meetings interrupt flow. A Friday evening WhatsApp digest lets everyone give a status update in async time.
- Weekly alignment without a meeting
- Everyone updates in their own time
- Clear record of decisions and wins
- Reduces unnecessary Slack threads
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'Every Friday at 5pm, send me and my team a weekly digest on WhatsApp.'
- 3Notis pulls your wins, decisions, blockers, and next week's priority from Slack and previous automations.
- 4Notis sends each team member a WhatsApp prompt: 'Your digest: [summary]. Update for next week?'
- 5Team members reply on WhatsApp. Notis compiles responses and sends a team summary Monday morning.
Questions about this workflow
Does everyone on the team need WhatsApp?
Yes, for this automation. If some prefer email, ask Notis to send email to them instead.
What if someone doesn't respond Friday?
Notis will remind them Saturday or Monday morning. Non-response doesn't block the digest.
Can I customize what goes into the digest?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Include only decisions and blockers, skip wins' or 'Add forecast for next week.'
