Turn Email Drafts into a Weekly Content Plan
Every Sunday, your content drafts become a calendar in Sheets—no manual planning, just a weekly view of what you're publishing.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
Content founders draft posts in email then forget what's planned. Without a calendar, you oversaturate some topics and leave gaps in others. ADHD brains struggle to keep content vision intact.
- See your whole week's content at a glance
- Spot topic gaps or repetition before publishing
- Batch similar content together efficiently
- Never publish the same thing twice by accident
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Google Sheets.
- 2Create a weekly content sheet with columns: Date, Topic, Format (post/email/video), Status, Draft Link.
- 3Tell Notis: 'Every Monday, extract my email drafts from the past week, pull out topic and format, and add them to my content calendar.'
- 4Set the schedule for weekly extraction.
- 5Test by drafting content in Gmail and running the automation manually first.
Questions about this workflow
Does it extract text from attachments or just email subjects?
Notis can analyze email subjects and bodies. For complex attachment content, it's less reliable—you may need to manually refine.
Can I include calendar events (like speaking gigs) in the content plan?
Yes, if you link your calendar. Tell Notis to pull in events and mark corresponding content.
How does it avoid duplicate entries?
It looks at the date and topic. If you drafted the same post twice, it flags it as a duplicate.
