Blueprints

Standing instructions Postface carries out with your connected accounts and reports on by text.

A Blueprint is a standing instruction written in plain language. Postface runs it against the accounts you connected, on the schedule you choose, and texts you the result. If there is nothing worth saying, it stays quiet.

Examples

  • Morning briefLook at my calendar for today and any unread email from the last 12 hours. Tell me the first meeting, anything that needs a reply before noon, and one thing I can safely ignore.
  • Waiting on repliesFind email threads where I sent the last message more than 3 days ago and nobody replied. List who I am waiting on and what about, oldest first.
  • Repo pulseCheck my GitHub notifications and any pull requests waiting on my review. Tell me what needs me today and skip bots and CI noise.
  • Slack catch-upSummarise anything in Slack from the last 24 hours where I was mentioned or asked a direct question. Group by channel and keep it short.
  • Meeting follow-upsRead my Granola notes from today's meetings and pull out every action item assigned to me, with who asked for it.
  • Training weekSum up my Strava activities from the past 7 days: total distance, time, and the longest effort. Compare with the week before in one sentence.

Sharing to the library

Blueprints are private by default. You can submit one to the Postface library so other people can copy it. Submitted blueprints show as In review until they are approved (In library) or sent back (Not approved). Only the instruction is shared, never your data or your connected accounts.
