Keep Akta research follow-ups from slipping
Turn a useful company finding into a reminder while the next step is still clear.
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
Research may identify an opportunity, but without a named next step and date it can sit untouched.
- Capture a next step close to the research that prompted it.
- Keep follow-up visible in Slack.
- Reduce the effort of remembering to revisit a company.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Akta and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack reminder from the Akta research and use a follow-up date supplied in the request; if none is available, ask for one or report that timing is missing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Akta example that includes a follow-up date.
Questions about this workflow
Where does reminder timing come from?
The webhook request or your instruction must supply the date or time. Akta's listed capabilities do not specify follow-up timing.
What happens if timing is missing?
The instruction should have Notis report that timing is missing or request it, rather than invent a reminder time.
