Make time for an Alpaca review in Slack
Put a recurring review on your Slack reminders so checking Alpaca does not depend on remembering at the right moment.
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
Without a regular review prompt, it is easy to postpone checking recent trading activity.
- Build a repeatable prompt into an existing Slack routine.
- Keep the reminder visible where work conversations happen.
- Use a recurring schedule without needing an Alpaca event trigger.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack reminder to review recent Alpaca activity.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the reminder timing and report destination.
