Questions about this workflow
Can Notis extract tasks for me automatically?
Not yet, but you can ask Notis to 'search for emails with certain keywords' to help you spot commitments faster.
What if I don't have a task manager?
You can list tasks right in the Telegram reply, or ask Notis to send them to your task app.
Is Friday the best day?
Change it to whatever works: 'Every Thursday at 3 PM' or 'Every Monday morning'.
