Post urgent Airtable tasks to Slack automatically
Stop manually checking Airtable for high-priority items. Let Notis post them to Slack the instant they arrive, keeping your team aligned without the back-and-forth.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Post message to channel
Why this helps
High-priority tasks get lost in Airtable and require constant manual checking. Team members don't know what's urgent until you tell them individually.
- Eliminate manual task announcements to your team
- Catch urgent work immediately instead of on your next check
- Reduce context-switching by centralizing notifications
- Ensure nothing falls through the cracks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Airtable and Slack accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the Notis portal).
- 2In the Notis portal or by asking Notis in Slack, create a new automation: 'When a new high-priority item arrives in [Airtable table name], post it to [Slack channel].'
- 3Select 'Webhook' as the trigger so any source can send new records to Notis.
- 4Choose the Slack channel where your team monitors urgent work.
- 5Test by sending one high-priority item through your workflow, then verify it appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Can I post to different channels based on priority?
Yes. Create separate automations for each priority level, each posting to the appropriate channel (e.g., urgent to #immediate-action, medium to #next-week).
Does this work for existing Airtable records?
Only new records trigger the automation. To process existing ones, you can temporarily export them through a webhook or schedule a one-time run.
What information gets posted to Slack?
Notis posts whatever you tell it in the automation prompt. You might say 'include the task name, deadline, and assigned owner' and it will extract those from Airtable automatically.
