Turn urgent Android texts into clear Slack alerts
Keep important texts visible in the place you already coordinate work. Notis can assess the incoming SMS and send a focused alert to Slack.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Time-sensitive texts can disappear among personal messages, leaving founders to check their phone repeatedly or miss a follow-up.
- Surface urgent messages without repeatedly checking the phone.
- Include the sender and useful message context in one Slack update.
- Let Notis assess urgency from the received message, not just forward every text.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome: assess each received SMS for urgency and send a concise Slack alert with sender and message context when it needs attention.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example, including a message that should not be treated as urgent.
Questions about this workflow
Does Android Texter provide a native trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook that receives the Android Texter event payload.
Will every incoming text be posted to Slack?
Describe the urgency decision in the automation instruction. Notis can assess the text it receives, but you should test representative messages and refine the instruction.
What should the webhook payload contain?
It needs the incoming message and available sender context. If the payload omits a detail, Notis cannot reliably include it in the Slack alert.
