Automate Slack reminders from your Airtable deadlines
Stop manually setting Slack reminders for every Airtable deadline. Notis automatically creates reminders timed to keep you on track, so you never miss a milestone.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a reminder
Create a reminder for a specified time.
Why this helps
You copy deadlines from Airtable to Slack reminders manually (if at all), which adds friction and means some dates never get reminders at all.
- Never manually create Slack reminders again
- Ensure every deadline has a built-in alert
- Set reminders for days before (not day-of) so you can plan ahead
- Reduce the cognitive load of juggling dates across platforms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new deadline is added to [Airtable table], create a Slack reminder for [X days before] the due date.'
- 3Select 'Webhook' as the trigger to accept incoming deadlines.
- 4Configure the reminder timing (e.g., '3 days before', 'the morning of', 'a week prior').
- 5Send your first test deadline through Airtable and confirm the Slack reminder appears at the right time.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different reminder times for different types of tasks?
Yes. Create separate automations for each category (e.g., client deadlines get a 5-day reminder, internal tasks get 2-day reminder).
What if I change a deadline in Airtable after the reminder is set?
The original reminder will still fire at its scheduled time. You can manually delete it in Slack or create a new automation to update reminders based on changes.
Do reminders work for recurring deadlines?
If your Airtable table has a recurring field, you can ask Notis to create reminders for each occurrence automatically.
