Generate Daily Standup Sheets from Asana Automatically
Standup prep shouldn't eat 20 minutes of focus. Notis generates your daily briefing sheet every morning—today's priorities, blockers, and wins—so you hit the ground running.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create sheet from JSON
Creates a new google spreadsheet and populates its first worksheet from `sheet json`, which must be non-empty as its first item's keys establish the headers.
Why this helps
Founders spend mental energy every morning preparing the same standup. Manually pulling today's tasks, identifying blockers, and writing a status costs focus time that could go to strategy.
- Daily standup sheet ready every morning without manual work
- Includes today's priorities, in-progress tasks, and blockers
- Saves 15-30 minutes per team member per day
- Consistent standup format reduces decision fatigue
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation: 'Every morning at 8am, generate a standup sheet in my Sheets workbook. Include all tasks due today or in progress, sorted by priority.' Specify the Asana project.
- 3Tell Notis what data to include (task name, assignee, due date, priority, status, blocker notes, etc.) and what columns to create.
- 4Select a recurring schedule (e.g., 'Every weekday at 8am').
- 5Choose a channel for Notis to notify you when the sheet is ready.
- 6Test by triggering the automation manually—a new standup sheet should appear in your workbook.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize what time the standup sheet is generated?
Yes. Choose any time that works for your timezone. Notis will generate the sheet at that time every day (or weekdays only, if you prefer).
How far back does it pull tasks?
Tell Notis the scope: today only, today + overdue, or today + the next 3 days. Adjust to match your planning window.
Does it include tasks from all projects or just one?
You specify which project(s) to pull from. Single project, or multiple projects—Notis aggregates them into one daily sheet.
