Never Lose a Standup Again
Standups happen. Then they vanish. This automation catches standup messages in your Slack channel and quietly saves them to Drive, so you always have a searchable record without asking anyone to do extra work.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Async standups in Slack are valuable but ephemeral. Reviewing what the team said last week requires scrolling or asking people to repeat themselves. No CEO wants to rely on memory.
- One central place to find any standup from the past year
- No extra work for your team; Notis captures automatically
- Track team momentum and blockers over time
- Reduce meeting overhead by reviewing async records instead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Drive integrations to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create a new automation: 'When messages are posted in #standup, save them as docs in my Standups folder in Google Drive.'
- 3Select 'Channel Message Received' as your trigger.
- 4Specify the channel (#standup) in the automation settings.
- 5Choose where Notis reports runs, then test by posting a standup message.
Questions about this workflow
Will this save every message in the channel, or just standups?
Notis can filter by keywords in your prompt (e.g., 'save messages that start with Standup:' or 'save messages containing completed/in-progress/blocked'). You control what counts.
Can I organize standups by person?
Yes. Notis can create subfolders by team member or project and route standups automatically. Specify this in your automation prompt.
How are the docs formatted?
Each standup becomes a doc with the timestamp and author. Notis preserves formatting and mentions from Slack.
