Build shift change communication from a persisted query
Turn schedule changes into clear messages grounded in your approved operating content.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Last-minute changes create fragmented messages and repeated searches for the right procedure.
- Respond consistently to changes
- Reduce message drafting time
- Reuse cached operational content
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Contentful graphql in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Shift change communication.
- 3Tell Notis to pass shift change variables to the registered persisted query and summarize the response.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger for each schedule change payload.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real change.
