Make time for scripture reflection with Slack reminders
Put a regular moment for reflection on the calendar with a Slack reminder informed by an Api bible lookup.
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
Good intentions to revisit a passage are easy to forget when the day fills with other work.
- Set a recurring reminder to return to scripture reflection.
- Keep a supplied passage close to the reminder.
- Avoid relying on memory to create a follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api bible and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe which supplied passage to look up and what Slack reminder to create for reflection.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real passage and confirm the reminder details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow choose a passage for me?
The automation can look up a passage you supply. If you want it to select a passage, describe the selection criteria in your instruction.
What triggers the reminder workflow?
A recurring Notis cron schedule starts the automation. The Slack action creates a reminder using the supplied reminder text and time.
