Why this helps
Weekly standup preparation requires manually reviewing GitHub, collating progress, and crafting a narrative. This overhead often gets skipped, leading to unstructured meetings.
- Standup prep is automated—everyone reads the same summary
- Progress and blockers are visible at a glance
- Neurodivergent-friendly—external structure reduces meeting prep anxiety
- Consistency—same format every week, easier to scan
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Monday morning, create a weekly summary in Google Drive with: new issues created, open PRs, merged PRs, deployments this week, blockers or critical issues, and team highlights.'
- 3Select 'notis_cron' as trigger and set to run weekly (e.g., Monday 8:00 AM).
- 4Choose a Notis reporting channel.
- 5Wait for next Monday (or manually trigger to test).
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis pull data from multiple GitHub repositories?
Yes. Tell Notis which repos to include in the weekly summary. It aggregates activity across all of them.
Can I customize what appears in the weekly summary?
Absolutely. You can add sections for team member contributions, customer-reported issues, or planned work for the coming week.
What time should the summary be created?
Set it for whenever works best for your team—commonly Monday morning before standup. Notis runs on your schedule.
