Keep month-end billing threads easy to find
Notis can help surface the Slack messages tied to billing items your team expects to revisit during month-end close.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Important billing threads can be hard to recover when month-end work is spread across conversations.
- Make selected billing discussions quicker to find
- Bring recurring close work into a consistent routine
- Help reduce repeated searching across Slack
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Altoviz and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review available Altoviz billing context, identify related Slack messages for month-end follow-up, and star those messages.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real billing item and verify the intended Slack message is starred.
Questions about this workflow
What determines which messages get starred?
Describe the month-end follow-up criteria in your instruction. Notis needs enough Altoviz and Slack context to identify the related message.
Can it star a message that is not in Slack already?
No. Starring applies to an existing Slack item or message.
Will this affect other users' starred items?
Slack stars are associated with the authenticated user's view, so confirm the connected account is the one that should keep these items easy to find.
