Make pipeline reflection a steady course habit
Use a short recurring reflection to help participants notice patterns and carry useful questions into the next week.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Weekly learning often loses momentum when reflection depends on someone remembering to start it.
- Create a repeatable moment to reflect on pipeline patterns.
- Turn observations into questions and next steps.
- Keep reflection in the course space.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe the reflection questions, course context, and what pipeline information is appropriate to include.
- 4Choose notis_cron as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one week's context and review the discussion prompt for clarity and sensitivity.
Questions about this workflow
Can the discussion include a comparison with previous weeks?
Only if prior data is available to Notis or supplied in the instruction. Define the baseline or provide it explicitly.
Does this post on a fixed schedule?
Yes. Choose notis_cron and set the recurrence as part of creating the automation.
