Automatic daily standup email drafts
Every morning, Notis creates an email draft with today's meetings and key tasks. Send it to your team or use it for a personal standup—context ready to go.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
You start your day without a clear communication plan. By mid-morning, you've scrambled to write standup emails, check your calendar, and figure out what to prioritize.
- Start your day with a clear, written summary of what's happening, reducing mental load
- Communicate proactively by sending your standup before the day gets chaotic
- Save time by having a template draft ready instead of writing from scratch each day
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Gmail to Notis
- 2Create a recurring automation: 'Every morning at 8 AM, create a standup email draft with today's meetings and priorities'
- 3Customize what gets included (just meetings, or meetings + tasks, or meetings + notes)
- 4Choose where Notis notifies you when the draft is ready
- 5Test by triggering a manual run to see the draft, then edit and send it
Questions about this workflow
What time should I set the daily standup?
Choose a time that works for your routine—typically 8 AM, before your first meeting. You can adjust it anytime by updating the automation.
Can I include my task list, not just calendar events?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Include tasks from my to-do list' or 'Pull in priority items from [tool name]' and Notis will weave them into the draft alongside calendar events.
What if I don't want to send it every day?
You can set conditions: 'Only create standup drafts on weekdays' or 'Skip the draft if I have no meetings.' Customize the schedule to your needs.
