Keep project changes visible in Slack
Give the team a useful project update without asking someone to retype the details into Slack.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Project changes can be hard to follow when context is split between AccuLynx and team conversations.
- Put relevant project changes into a shared conversation.
- Highlight the information present in the update.
- Cut down on manual status recaps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for project change summaries.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the AccuLynx project update, call out any supplied next steps, and post the result in Slack.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project update.
Questions about this workflow
Can the summary identify changes from a previous project version?
Only if the request or AccuLynx response includes both the earlier and current details. Otherwise, Notis can summarize the update it receives.
Can I choose a Slack channel in the prompt?
The automation can post to a Slack conversation available to its connection. The prompt should state the intended destination if it is known.
