02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Automate Page Creation

Set up a recurring Notion automation to create a new, blank meeting page from a designated template every morning before your standup.

2

Configure the Custom Agent

Create a 'Custom Agent' in Notion AI and schedule it to trigger at a specific time each day (e.g., 9 AM). This agent will be responsible for populating the meeting page.

3

Connect Data Sources

Grant the agent access to pull information from multiple sources simultaneously, such as Honeycomb for performance metrics, the team's Slack channel for discussions, your Notion task database, and GitHub for merged pull requests.

4

Synthesize the Pre-Read

Instruct the agent to look back over the last 24 hours, gather context from all connected sources, and compile the information into a structured document using a template you define in the agent's instructions (e.g., CI Speed, Decisions, Progress, Bugs, Open Questions).

5

Notify the Team

Once the page is populated, have the agent automatically post a message in the team's Slack channel with a link to the completed pre-read, ensuring everyone is prepared before the meeting starts.
