Get a scheduled Beeminder goal inventory with spreadsheet context

Pair a recurring check-in with your planning sheet and a current list of Beeminder goals.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get all goals

Tool to retrieve all goals for a specified user. use when listing a user's active goals.

Why this helps

Goal lists and planning notes live in separate places, making periodic reviews harder to begin.

  • Create a dependable prompt for periodic goal reviews.
  • Use planning context alongside the retrieved goal list.
  • Make it easier to spot goals needing a human decision.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Beeminder once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from a channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to consult the planning sheet and retrieve current Beeminder goals for a review.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example using the planning data.
