Notis

Assign Discord roles from 7shifts updates

Turn a staffing update into the right Discord access with less admin work.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Assign role to guild member

Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.

Why this helps

New team members wait for access while managers manually reconcile staff lists.

  • Speed up team onboarding
  • Keep role access consistent
  • Reduce manual roster checks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 7shifts and Discordbot in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which team update should receive a Discord role.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify the member and assign the approved existing role, asking for review if identity is unclear.
  • 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger for the 7shifts update.
  • 5Select a Discord report channel and test with one real member record.

Questions about this workflow

Does the role need to exist already?

Yes. Discordbot assigns an existing role and the bot must have permission to manage it.

What if the member cannot be matched?

Ask Notis to report the ambiguity instead of assigning access automatically.
