Why this helps
Planning across tools can stall when useful account context is not immediately available.
- Retrieve available Beeminder information from a Slack request.
- Make timezone or urgency details easier to consult during planning.
- Keep the context tied to the conversation where a decision is being discussed.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beeminder to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to retrieve Beeminder user information when a planning message requests account context.
- 4Select the channel message trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real planning thread that asks for Beeminder context.
Questions about this workflow
