Spot Beeminder goals without recent updates
See which goals may need a check-in before they slip off your radar.
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
Goals with quiet progress can be overlooked until a deadline or review exposes the gap.
- Surfaces goals with a quiet update history
- Makes check-in priorities easier to scan
- Supports a steady review habit
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 the lookback period and ask it to write goals with no datapoint in that period to a specified existing range.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select a report channel, and test against real goal history.
Questions about this workflow
What does recent mean?
Specify the lookback period in your instruction, such as the last 7 days.
Can this identify goals that are off track?
Only if Notis can retrieve the needed goal status or you provide the criteria. A lack of recent datapoints alone does not establish whether a goal is off track.
