Make archived Beeminder goals easier to reflect on

Bring past goals into a focused retrospective when you need them. Notis gathers the archived list and summarizes the available history without inventing missing details.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Archived Goals

Tool to retrieve archived goals for a specified user. use when you need to inspect a user's past archived goals.

Why this helps

Past goals can be difficult to revisit when they are separated from your current planning context.

  • Gather archived goals for a focused review.
  • Use past commitments as context for future planning.
  • See when the available archived information is incomplete.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Beeminder once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve archived goals and summarize the returned information for a retrospective.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real webhook request and review the retrospective.

Questions about this workflow

Does this inspect active goals too?

No. It uses the archived-goals action. Active goals require a separate retrieval.

Can Notis explain why a goal was archived?

Only if that reason is present in the returned information. Otherwise the report should mark it as unknown.
