- 4Choose a recurring Notis schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real conversation review and confirm the selected messages are appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
What does the scheduled review need to know?
Specify which Slack conversation to review and what counts as a useful Ably-related decision or reference.
Can Notis recover older conversation history?
