Make Marvin's open work easier to review in Slack
Bring the work that needs attention into a Slack conversation you can revisit during planning.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering.
Why this helps
A growing task list can be hard to scan when you need to decide what deserves attention next.
- Get a compact view of open work during a regular planning routine.
- Use Slack conversation history to ground the review in the channel context available to Notis.
- Spot tasks that may need a decision or follow-up without manually scanning the full list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it Marvin Work Review.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review open Marvin tasks and share a concise planning summary using the available Slack conversation context.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the summary reflects returned task and conversation data.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically post a message to Slack?
This workflow uses Slack's Fetch conversation history action to retrieve channel context. It does not post a message; use the retrieved information in the automation's run report or analysis.
Can the review include task age or completion trends?
Only if Amazing Marvin returns the required history or timestamps. Otherwise, provide that information or keep the review focused on the task details that are available.
