Fetches your recent GitHub activity and uses an AI agent to write structured daily stand-up notes, delivering them to your Gmail inbox every morning.
Sprint Stand-Up Notes Generator
What It Does
This workflow generates your daily stand-up notes from your GitHub activity. Every weekday morning, it fetches your commits, pull requests, and issues from the last 24 hours. It then uses an AI agent to structure the information into the classic Done, In Progress, and Blockers format, delivering the final notes straight to your inbox before your standup call.
How It Works
| Step | Component | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scheduled Trigger | Runs Monday to Friday at a designated time. |
| 2 | GitHub Tools | Fetches recent commits, pull requests, and issues from the past 24 hours. |
| 3 | AI Agent | Analyzes the fetched GitHub activity to draft structured stand-up notes. |
| 4 | Gmail | Delivers the formatted HTML notes directly to your inbox. |
