A changing list becomes a timely digest for the whole workstream.
Trigger

Why this helps
Industry context gets stale while a workstream evolves across many tasks.
- Summarizes a whole workstream's context
- Reduces scattered research
- Makes list changes easier to review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Currents api in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to review the changed list context, fetch relevant industry headlines, and group them by decision impact.
- 4Pick Task List Changed as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it after adding or reprioritizing one task in the list.
Questions about this workflow
Can one list represent a project or theme?
Yes. Name the project or theme in the automation instruction so Notis can focus the digest.
