Recheck Beeminder goals after OneDrive moves

Moves and renames become a prompt to verify that work still points to the right goals.

Trigger

Item Moved or Renamed

Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.

Action

Get all goals

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

Why this helps

A moved or renamed item can silently break the context people use to track work.

  • Catch context drift after reorganizing files
  • Review old and new paths together
  • Keep goal references understandable

  • 1Connect OneDrive and Beeminder once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that compares the old and new item context with active goals and reports needed follow-up.
  • 3Pick the Item Moved or Renamed trigger.
  • 4Choose where reports go and test with one real move or rename.
