Trigger

Why this helps
An end-of-day review can feel too effortful when it requires reopening multiple tools and reconstructing priorities.
- Use a short DM to start a closing review when it suits you.
- See active goals without a separate manual lookup.
- Create a clear pause between today's work and tomorrow's plans.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beeminder to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation from the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve active goals when a DM asks for an end-of-day scan and summarize them.
- 4Select the direct message received trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM requesting your closing goal scan.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run at a set time every day?
No. This version runs when the Slack DM arrives. A scheduled workflow would require a Notis cron trigger.
Does it log what I accomplished?
No. The available Beeminder action retrieves active goals; it does not log datapoints.
