A Friday FreshBooks project review, delivered to Slack
Closing out the week is easier when the list comes to you. On a weekly schedule, Notis fetches every FreshBooks project and posts it to Slack so your review is already laid out when you sit down.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Projects
Tool to list all projects for a business. use after confirming the business id.
Why this helps
Weekly reviews fall apart when the first step is logging into a tool and building the list by hand.
- Walk into your weekly review with the list already built
- Spot stalled projects before they become surprises
- Make the review a habit instead of a chore

- 1Connect Slack and FreshBooks to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Open Automations in the portal and choose New Automation.
- 3Write the prompt: every Friday, list my FreshBooks projects and post them to my review channel.
- 4Pick a weekly schedule as the trigger and choose the Slack channel for run reports.
- 5Trigger a test run to confirm the review lands correctly.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose a different day?
Yes. The schedule is fully yours to set, so any weekday works.
Does it include all projects?
Notis lists your FreshBooks projects as you describe in the prompt, so you can ask for all of them or narrow the ask.
