See your Beeminder goals alongside relevant email
Get a short goal context brief when a new message raises a Beeminder commitment, deadline, or progress question.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Get all goals
Tool to retrieve all goals for a specified user. use when listing a user's active goals.
Why this helps
A Beeminder-related email can get separated from the goal details you need to decide what to do next.
- Review active goal details without switching apps to look them up.
- Keep the email question and goal context together in a run report.
- Use the report to decide on a next step; this workflow does not log goal progress.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Beeminder once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review each new email for Beeminder goal questions and retrieve active goals for a concise context brief.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Beeminder-related email.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automation add progress to a Beeminder goal?
No. The available action retrieves active goals. It does not create or update goal datapoints.
Will every new email produce a goal brief?
The trigger runs on new Gmail messages. In your instruction, ask Notis to prepare a brief only when the message is relevant to Beeminder; Notis does not provide a setup screen for trigger filters.
