Weekly Report: Drive Files Mentioned Most in Your Emails
Each week, Notis shows you which Drive files got the most email attention, helping you prioritize where to focus your work effort.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List File Labels
Tool to list the labels on a file. use when you need to retrieve all labels associated with a specific file in google drive.
Why this helps
You don't know which projects are actually getting discussed in email versus which are idle. This visibility gap makes it hard to prioritize. Neurodivergent founders often chase the wrong projects because they lack clear signals about what matters.
- Identify high-priority projects based on email volume automatically
- Prioritize work by signal rather than guesswork
- See which files are getting the most team attention
- Reduce decision fatigue by letting data drive priorities
- Stay focused on what actually matters week to week
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Google Drive to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'Every Friday, generate a report showing which of my Drive files got mentioned most in my emails this week, ranked by frequency'
- 3Choose 'Recurring Schedule' set to weekly (Friday at 5 PM)
- 4Select your Notis channel for the weekly report (email or Slack)
- 5Review the first report and see which projects actually dominate your communication
- 6Adjust criteria if needed—Notis can filter by client, project type, or file age
Questions about this workflow
Does this count emails to the file or about the file?
Both. Notis tracks direct references and email subjects mentioning the file or project.
Can I use this for team reporting?
Yes. Share the weekly report with your team to synchronize priorities.
What if files are discussed in Slack, not email?
This automation focuses on email. Ask Notis about integrating Slack if you need full communication tracking.
