Keep a monthly record of Beamer product changes
A monthly recap makes it easier to review the product story and carry useful context into planning.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Looking back across a month of changes means reopening many separate announcements.
- Review the month without reopening every announcement
- Bring product context into planning
- Build a dated archive of changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beamer and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to summarize Beamer changelog activity for the previous month and save a dated recap in Drive.
- 4Choose a monthly schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real month of Beamer activity.
Questions about this workflow
Can the recap compare months?
Ask for a comparison, but provide a baseline if Beamer does not return the historical period needed.
Can I choose what to emphasize?
Yes. Include the product areas or update types you want highlighted in the instruction.
