Keep Affinity contact follow-ups on track
Turn a clear contact follow-up into a Slack reminder so a useful relationship next step has a place on your calendar.
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
Relationship intentions often remain buried in contact notes instead of becoming a reminder to act.
- Turn a clear next step into a time-based Slack reminder.
- Review contact context before deciding what needs follow-up.
- Keep reminders specific to a known due time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to review the supplied Affinity contact and create a Slack reminder only when a concrete follow-up and due time are available.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real contact and check the reminder content and time.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send a message to the contact?
No. It creates a Slack reminder for the user; it does not send outreach.
Can it create a reminder without a due time?
The reminder action requires a time. Supply one or ask Notis to skip reminder creation when none is available.
How is the contact selected?
Name the contact or provide its identifying details in the webhook request or automation instruction.
