Start each day with your priorities calendared
Every morning at 7am, Notis checks for priority messages in your Slack channels and creates calendar blocks for your top tasks. You wake up to a structured day instead of diving into an unplanned Slack flood.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
You wake up, check Slack, and see 50 messages. You have no idea what your day should look like, so you reactively work on whatever yells the loudest. Deep work never happens.
- Start your day with a calendar-backed plan instead of reactive Slack triage
- Protect your most important 2-3 tasks by putting them on your calendar first thing
- Reduce decision fatigue by letting Notis do the daily prioritization scan
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Calendar to Notis
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every morning at 7am, look at my Slack channels for priority messages and create calendar blocks for them'
- 3Notis will ask which channels to scan and how long to block (90 min, 2 hours, etc.)
- 4Test by running it manually first to see what gets calendared, then set the daily schedule
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what's a priority?
You can mark messages with a priority emoji (like 🔥), or tell Notis to look for specific keywords like urgent, priority, or ship.
What if there are too many priorities?
You can ask Notis to limit it to your top 3, and put the rest in a 'backlog' calendar—or just let you review before creating events.
Can I customize the time it runs?
Absolutely. You can pick any morning time (7am, 6am, 8am, etc.) or even ask for an evening review to prep for tomorrow.
