Weekly Review of Your Team's Best Practices
Best practices fade from memory when they're buried in a tool you don't check regularly. Notis sends a weekly summary of all starred Gists, keeping your team's collective knowledge in your face.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Starred Gists
Tool to list the authenticated user's starred gists. Use when you need to retrieve all gists the user has starred.
Why this helps
You star Gists as important references, but then forget they exist because you don't return to Gist regularly. Critical team knowledge goes unused.
- Team best practices stay in your face weekly
- Refresh your memory on shared solutions
- Catch new starred gists you missed
- Reduce duplicate problem-solving
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gist integration to Notis and authorize your GitHub account with appropriate permissions
- 2Go to Automations in the portal and select 'New Automation'
- 3Name it 'Weekly Starred Gist Review' and in the Prompt write: 'Every Monday morning, list all of my starred Gists and send a summary'
- 4Set Trigger to notis_cron with 'Weekly on Monday at 9am', pick your notification channel (Slack or email), and save
- 5Wait for the first Monday to arrive and check the notification; you can manually trigger a test by asking Notis in Slack: 'List my starred gists'
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the day or time for the weekly review?
Yes. When setting up the automation, you can choose any day and time. Most teams pick Monday morning before standup or Friday to review the week's learnings.
What if I have hundreds of starred Gists?
Notis groups them and sends a digest. You can also add filters to the prompt like 'starred Gists tagged with API' or 'starred Gists created in the last month' to narrow the list.
Can the notification include a snippet preview of each Gist?
Notis can include the first few lines of code or a summary line from each starred Gist, making the review quicker without opening each one.
