Put new subscriptions in the context of past goals

Before a channel becomes a project, see whether similar commitments have already been tried, paused, or completed.

Trigger

New YouTube Channel Subscription

Triggers when a new channel is subscribed.

Action

Get Archived Goals

Tool to retrieve archived goals for a specified user. use when you need to inspect a user's past archived goals.

Why this helps

New inspiration can recreate old obligations without a deliberate decision to restart them.

  • Recognize recurring themes quickly
  • Avoid accidental reactivation of old work
  • Choose a deliberate follow-up

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect YouTube and Beeminder once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation describing how to review archived goals after each subscription.
  • 3Choose New YouTube Channel Subscription as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one subscription.

Questions about this workflow

Can this identify completed versus abandoned goals?

Only when the returned archived data distinguishes those states; otherwise Notis should say the status is unclear.

Does it change my YouTube subscriptions?

No. It only reacts to the subscription event and retrieves archived Beeminder context.
