Create a monthly Marvin productivity snapshot

Keep a monthly record of the work patterns you want to understand.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create sheet from JSON

Creates a new google spreadsheet and populates its first worksheet from `sheet json`, which must be non-empty as its first item's keys establish the headers.

Why this helps

Without a consistent snapshot, it is hard to compare how projects and habits are progressing from month to month.

  • Start each month with a fresh spreadsheet artifact.
  • Bring selected task and productivity data into one view.
  • Build a consistent record for later comparison.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the monthly snapshot.
  • 3Tell Notis which available Marvin task, habit, planning, or time data to include and what headers the new sheet should use.
  • 4Pick a monthly schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and inspect the created spreadsheet.
