Why this helps
A growing collection can become difficult to scan when there is no regular moment to review its themes.
- Bring supplied collection notes into one reviewable document.
- Spot recurring themes across the material you provide.
- Make research easier to revisit during planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Are.na and Google Drive in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for your weekly collection digest.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the Are.na collection notes or export you provide into a concise weekly digest in Drive.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real set of collection notes and review the digest.
