Make goal check-ins easier to remember
Have Notis periodically review the Beeminder goals you name and create a basic calendar reminder for a check-in when one is due.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Goals can drift between reviews when there is no clear reminder to check progress.
- Give goal reviews a predictable place in the day.
- Keep progress checks visible alongside other work.
- Choose the goals and intervals that fit your routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beeminder and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe which goals to review and when to create a check-in reminder in one instruction.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real goal and confirm the reminder.
Questions about this workflow
Can it automatically know my preferred check-in interval?
Only if you specify it in the instruction or request. Notis should not infer a personal interval from a Beeminder goal unless the data supplies it.
Does Quick Add support attendees or recurring events?
No. Quick Add creates a basic event from natural language and does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events.
