Make document review a reliable routine
Set a recurring time to revisit document work. Notis can create a Slack reminder on a schedule you choose, with a prompt that tells it what to review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Document reviews get postponed when they depend on remembering to open a separate queue at the right time.
- Put a review nudge into an existing Slack routine.
- Choose the cadence and reminder text yourself.
- Reduce reliance on remembering to revisit a separate queue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what recurring nudge you need.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Slack reminder with the review instruction and cadence you specify.
- 4Choose notis_cron and set the recurring schedule in Notis.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one reminder.
Questions about this workflow
Will the reminder automatically inspect ActiveMerge documents?
This workflow creates a Slack reminder on a schedule. No ActiveMerge trigger or read action is listed here, so include the review instruction or queue location in the reminder text.
Can I choose how often it repeats?
Yes. Set the schedule when you choose the notis_cron trigger and describe the reminder cadence you want.
