Why this helps
Searching for supporting documents every time you review goals adds friction before the real work begins.
- Gather relevant files ahead of goal review.
- Reduce repeated searching across Drive.
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 search Drive for references related to available Beeminder goals and summarize the most useful matches in a dated document.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the results are relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create copies of the matching files?
No. The selected action searches Drive and the instruction can summarize matches; it does not copy them.
What if goal names are too broad?
Add specific terms or context to the instruction so the search can distinguish the right files.
