Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Short check-ins can obscure longer patterns, making it hard to learn from a full quarter of goal work.
- Create a durable record for longer-range planning.
- Capture lessons across a defined review period.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beeminder and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review the available quarterly goal data and create a Drive document with progress, obstacles, and planning questions.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify that the quarter's history is available.
Questions about this workflow
Can it compare this quarter with previous quarters?
Only if the connected data includes prior periods or you supply the relevant history.
Will it know why a goal changed?
It can include explanations available in the returned information or provided by you, but it cannot infer undocumented causes reliably.
