Keep alt text reviews from slipping
Send a review request and due time to Notis, then create a Slack reminder with the image reference and suggested description.
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
A good review request can still be missed when there is no clear follow-up point.
- Give review work a visible follow-up time
- Keep the image reference in the reminder text
- Reduce manual reminder creation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AltTextLab and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Slack reminder from each submitted review request, using its provided reminder text and time.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request and a valid reminder time.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the reminder time come from?
Include the requested time in the webhook data; Slack accepts natural language and timestamp formats.
Can Notis decide when a review is overdue?
Only if you provide a due time or a clear timing rule in the submitted request.
