Remember urgent coverage follow-up
Keep a coverage issue visible until someone has a chance to follow up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
A staffing gap can remain unresolved if the manager who spots it gets pulled into service work.
- Keep time-sensitive coverage follow-up visible.
- Reduce reliance on memory during service.
- Give managers a clear prompt to revisit an issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a reminder using the coverage issue and follow-up time supplied with the request.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real coverage issue example.
Questions about this workflow
What information must the request include?
Include the coverage issue and a clear reminder time that Slack can accept.
Will this find coverage on its own?
No. The workflow creates a reminder from information supplied with the webhook request; it does not find replacement staff.
