Automatically send weekly reports to Slack
Compiling weekly progress reports from spreadsheets is manual and error-prone. Notis generates weekly summaries from your Google Sheets metrics and posts them to Slack automatically, keeping your team informed about weekly progress without extra effort.

Action

Why this helps
Preparing weekly reports requires manual data compilation and synthesis. Teams that skip this step lose visibility into momentum and progress.

- Keep your team aware of weekly progress and metrics
- Reduce manual effort in report compilation
- Build consistency in team communication
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with this prompt: 'Every Friday at 5 PM, summarize the week's metrics from my Google Sheets tracker and post a comprehensive weekly report to #[channel-name].'
- 3Select 'Notis Cron' as the trigger and specify 'weekly' on your preferred day and time.
- 4Choose the Slack channel for weekly reports.
- 5Test by manually triggering the automation and confirming the report appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I include multiple metrics in the weekly report?
Yes. Describe all the metrics you want included in your prompt and Notis will compile them into one comprehensive report.
Can I compare this week's metrics to last week's?
Yes. In your prompt, ask for comparison: 'Include week-over-week changes for all metrics.'
What if I want the report sent at a different time each week?
You can specify: 'Send reports on Fridays at 4 PM except the last Friday of the month, when send it at 3 PM.'
