Automated Weekly Status Updates
Every Friday, Notis posts your weekly status to Slack so the team knows what you've done and what's next.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
You skip weekly updates because writing them is tedious. Your team doesn't know what you're working on. Context gets lost.
- Weekly updates happen without you having to write them
- Team stays aligned on what you're doing without asking
- Written record of accomplishments is useful for reviews and retrospectives
- Recurring message creates accountability without stress
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Friday at 5pm, post my weekly status to the team channel. Include last week's wins and next week's priorities.'
- 3Select notis_cron as your trigger.
- 4Specify the day and time (e.g., 'every Friday at 5:00 PM').
- 5Test by manually triggering a run and verifying a status post appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what I accomplished?
You write a template in your prompt (e.g., 'This week I worked on X, Y, Z. Next week I'm prioritizing A, B.'). You update it weekly or let Notis use a default.
Can I skip a week without breaking the automation?
Yes. Notis will post a default update, or you can manually dismiss it and it'll post again next Friday.
Should this include time off or personal projects?
Include what's relevant to team context. Personal items can be mentioned for transparency or omitted if not relevant.
