Why this helps
A long task list can make it hard to choose a useful first step at the start of the day.
- Start the day with a short, scannable view of active work.
- Reduce time spent deciding where to look first.
- Keep a consistent planning cue in Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking for a concise daily summary of active tasks in your chosen Slack channel.
- 4Select a recurring schedule as the trigger, set its time, and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Run or preview the first brief and adjust the instruction if it feels too long.

Can the brief focus on today's tasks?
