Notis

Catch stale AnyDB work before it gets forgotten

Turn a scheduled database review into a clear reminder in your team's live channel.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Publish Message to Channel

Publishes a message to a channel.

Why this helps

Follow-ups slip when nobody checks which records have gone quiet or past their stated deadline.

  • Surface records that match criteria you define.
  • Make a concise follow-up visible without a manual database sweep.
  • Keep reminders grounded in dates and details actually present in the records.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find records matching your stated overdue or unchanged criteria and publish a concise reminder to an Ably channel.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with real records and verify the criteria use fields available in AnyDB.

Questions about this workflow

Can this identify records with no update timestamp?

Only if the relevant timestamp or equivalent information is present in the records. Otherwise, Notis cannot determine how long a record has been unchanged.

Does Notis edit the records?

This workflow publishes a reminder to Ably. It does not update AnyDB records.
