Daily Email Review Reminder
Every morning, Slack reminds you to review your inbox while it's still small.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Your inbox grows throughout the day until it's overwhelming. By evening, you're burned out and email hasn't been touched. You're reactive, not proactive.
- Morning review keeps your inbox small and manageable all day
- You're proactive instead of playing catch-up at night
- Fewer emails slip through because you're checking deliberately, not frantically
- Slack reminder fits your flow—you're already checking messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every weekday morning at 9am, send me a Slack reminder to review my inbox.'
- 3Select notis_cron as your trigger.
- 4Specify the day and time (e.g., 'Monday through Friday at 9:00 AM').
- 5Test by running immediately and verifying the reminder appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the reminder message?
Yes. Add context like 'Review inbox and respond to flagged items' or any other instruction.
Should I set this for every day or just weekdays?
Weekdays only is common for work. You can adjust if you're reviewing email on weekends.
What if I don't have time that morning?
You can snooze the reminder in Slack, and it'll appear again in a few hours.
