Keep proposed Beeminder goal changes in a review queue
Write down the change you are considering and the progress context before deciding.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
A goal adjustment can be made in the moment without a record of what prompted it or what you considered.
- Captures the reason for a proposed change
- Keeps decision context beside goal progress
- Makes later reflection easier
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beeminder and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook request's goal and proposed-change note, add available current progress, and append the record to your review sheet.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real proposed change.
