- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve active goals when a Slack message requests a priority reset.

- 5Test with a real Slack message requesting a priority reset.
Questions about this workflow
Does it reorder my goals?
No. It retrieves active goals so you can review them; it does not change their order or settings.
Can this run from a scheduled weekly review instead?
This workflow starts from a Slack channel message. A recurring schedule would use a Notis cron trigger.
