Why this helps
Regular check-ins can become a list of updates without a quick way to reconnect them to tracked goals.
- Connect a check-in conversation to current tracked goals.
- Make progress discussions more grounded in existing commitments.
- Use the reporting channel to keep the review visible to the right people.
Setup
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 conversationally.
- 3Write a single instruction asking Notis to retrieve active goals when a Slack check-in requests a Beeminder review.
- 4Select the channel message trigger and the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real check-in message that requests a goal review.
Questions about this workflow
Does it run on every check-in message?
The channel-message trigger sees channel messages. State in the instruction what makes a message a check-in that needs a goal review.
Can it mark goals complete?
No. The available action retrieves goals for review and does not edit their status.
