Bi-Weekly Project Brief Review

Every other week, Notis sends you each project's brief so you remember what each initiative is actually trying to accomplish. Strategy stays fresh in your mind.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Project Brief

Tool to retrieve a project's brief. use when you need to get the detailed explanation (what and why) of a project.

Why this helps

Founders lose sight of project goals as tasks accumulate. Without regular strategy check-ins, work becomes disconnected from intent.

  • Bi-weekly reminder of each project's strategic purpose
  • Keeps strategy visible alongside day-to-day task work
  • Prevents work from becoming detached from intent
  • Quick refresh on what each project is supposed to accomplish

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Every other Monday at 9am, send me the briefs for all my active projects.'
  • 3Use 'Bi-Weekly Schedule' as the trigger.
  • 4Choose your notification channel (email, Slack, Telegram).
  • 5Notis will send project briefs to keep you aligned.

Questions about this workflow

Can I change the schedule?

Yes. Tell Notis: 'every other Thursday' or 'twice a week' and it will adjust the frequency.

What if a project doesn't have a brief?

Notis will skip it or alert you to add one. You can refine your prompt to include only projects with briefs.

Can I include additional project information?

Yes. Tell Notis: 'include project status and recent activity' and it will include those alongside the brief.
