Prepare a queue for your next Beeminder review
Turn a broad goal list into a short queue based on the review rules you choose.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 long list of commitments makes it hard to know where to begin a review session.
- Creates a starting point for goal reviews
- Uses criteria you state in plain language
- Keeps the queue ready in Sheets
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 how to select and order goals for your review queue, using only available goal details, and update a specified existing range.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select a report channel, and test with one review queue.
Questions about this workflow
Can I control the order of the queue?
Yes. State an ordering rule based on information Notis can access, such as a supplied priority list.
Will it infer my personal priorities?
No. Provide your priorities or the selection rule in the automation instruction.
