Set Weekly Focus Goals Without Slack
Planning in Slack meetings gets lost; planning in your head means mid-week pivots. Get a WhatsApp list every Monday with your common goals—pick 3, and you have structure for the week.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send interactive list
Send an interactive list message to a whatsapp number. list messages allow users to select from up to 10 options in a structured format. great for menus, catalogs, or choices. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
You want a weekly theme, but creating it in Slack means another async thread or sync meeting. Neurodivergent brains work better with simple, time-limited choices.
- Choose goals in 30 seconds
- Reduce mid-week decision fatigue
- Your team sees your priorities
- Plan without a meeting or thread
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Create automation: 'Every Monday at 9am, send me a list of goal options on WhatsApp; I'll pick my top 3.'
- 3Notis sends a list (e.g., 'Finish proposal,' 'Ship feature,' 'Onboard new hire') each Monday.
- 4Tap 3 goals; Notis logs them to a Slack channel.
- 5Adjust goals in the automation if priorities shift (plain-language command).
Questions about this workflow
Can I see goals from previous weeks?
Yes. Notis will show you a 4-week history if you ask: 'Show my recent goals on WhatsApp.' You can spot patterns.
What if I don't finish my goals?
No judgment. Notis just logs what you chose. You can tell Notis: 'Carry over goal X to next week' or 'That goal is done now.'
Can my team add goal suggestions?
Yes. Notis can pull a curated list from Slack before sending the WhatsApp prompt—ask in your automation setup.
