Build a reliable arrival review into the day
Put the arrival review on the team's calendar of work with a Slack reminder at the time you choose.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Arrival reviews can be postponed when the team has no clear recurring cue to do them.
- Give the team a recurring prompt to check upcoming arrivals.
- Choose reminder timing that fits your operations routine.
- Keep the review cue in Slack where staff coordinate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apaleo and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack reminder to review upcoming Apaleo arrivals at your chosen time.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test one reminder and confirm its text, timing, and destination.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reminder contain a list of upcoming arrivals?
This action creates a Slack reminder. To include a list, the automation must be able to access the relevant Apaleo information and use a message action instead.
Can I set the reminder cadence?
Yes. Choose a recurring schedule for the automation and specify the reminder time and wording in your instruction.
