Biweekly Check-in Messages
Every other Wednesday, your team gets a WhatsApp message from you: 'How are you doing? What support do you need?' They reply asynchronously. No meetings, better insights.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often neglect regular check-ins because scheduling 1-on-1s feels overwhelming. Yet async check-ins via message are lightweight and actually yield better, more honest feedback than formal meetings.
- Lightweight alternative to formal 1-on-1 meetings
- Biweekly cadence reduces meeting fatigue
- Async format encourages honest, thoughtful responses
- Reduces founder overhead for manager duties
- Keeps team connected without draining attention
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Airtable and WhatsApp accounts to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Biweekly Check-in' and set the trigger to a recurring schedule (every two weeks, pick a day and time).
- 3Write your prompt: 'Every other Wednesday, send a message to the team asking how everyone is doing and what support or blockers they have this week.'
- 4Select your WhatsApp team group or individual team members for the message.
- 5Test by running the automation and seeing how team members respond.
Questions about this workflow
Should I send this to the whole team or individuals?
Your choice. Group messages feel team-wide; individual messages feel more personal. You can do both.
What if someone doesn't respond?
The prompt can include a gentle follow-up: 'if no response by Friday, send a reminder.' But default is no pressure—async means they'll respond when ready.
Can I personalize the check-in?
Yes. Your prompt might say 'ask each person about their project' or 'focus on morale and work-life balance this week.' Notis adapts.
Should I share responses with the team?
That's your call. You might say 'summarize common themes and share a team-wide recap' to surface collective concerns.
