Morning readiness briefing from Google Health to Slack
Every weekday at 7am, read last night's sleep and recovery signals from Google Health and send a short readiness verdict to your Slack DMs.
Every weekday at 7am, put together a short morning readiness briefing for me from my Google Health data and send it to me as a Slack direct message.
Read last night's sleep from Google Health with List Data Points on the sleep data type, covering the window from yesterday evening through this morning. Capture total sleep duration and the time spent in each stage (light, deep, REM, awake). Then read this morning's recovery signals with Daily Roll-Up Data Points for daily-heart-rate-variability and daily-resting-heart-rate for today's civil day. Pull a short lookback (roughly the last 14 days) with Daily Roll-Up Data Points on the same two metrics so you have a personal baseline to compare against, not a generic range.
Interpret how recovered I am. Weigh last night's sleep duration and stage balance against this morning's heart rate variability and resting heart rate, both compared to my recent baseline. Land on a one-word readiness verdict (e.g. Green, Yellow, Red, or Recovered, Steady, Depleted) and pick a concrete suggestion for the day: a hard workout, an easy day, extra hydration, or an earlier bedtime tonight.
Send the briefing to me as a Slack DM. Use Open a Conversation to open a direct message with me and get the DM channel id, then Send a Message to post the briefing to that channel. Keep the message to 3 to 5 short lines: line 1 is the one-word verdict, the middle lines cite the key numbers behind it (sleep duration, deep or REM if notable, HRV vs baseline, resting heart rate vs baseline), and the last line is the practical suggestion for the day.
If Google Health returns no sleep record for the night, do not guess a readiness score. Send a short DM that says sleep data is missing for last night, mention any recovery signals you did get if they are useful, and skip the verdict.
Write plainly, no emoji spam, no markdown headings, no medical advice or diagnoses. Keep it friendly and direct, like a coach glancing at last night's numbers.
What does this prompt do?
- Pulls last night's sleep duration and stages from Google Health, plus your morning heart rate variability and resting heart rate
- Has an AI weigh the numbers against your recent baseline and pick a one-word readiness verdict for the day
- Sends you a 3 to 5 line briefing as a Slack direct message with the key numbers and a suggestion (go hard, take it easy, or head to bed earlier tonight)
- If sleep data is missing for the night, says so plainly instead of guessing
What do I need to use this?
- A Google Health connection with sleep, activity, and health metrics access (Fitbit, Pixel Watch, or a supported third-party tracker)
- A Slack workspace where you want the readiness briefing to arrive as a DM
How can I customize it?
- Change the time or days it runs (e.g. seven days a week, later than 7am, or only on training days)
- Adjust the tone of the briefing or add extra signals like steps, workouts, or hydration
- Route the message somewhere else, such as a private channel or a Slack reminder to yourself
