- 2Create an automation by telling Notis to summarize active Beeminder goals when a new email asks for a current goal status.
- 3Pick New Email Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real email asking for a goal check.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automation update my Beeminder goals?
No. It uses Beeminder's Get all goals action to retrieve goals and summarizes the returned information in the Notis run report.
Can the email specify which goals to focus on?
You can ask Notis to use the email's wording to focus its summary. The action retrieves all goals, and the summary can only use information those results include.
