Review API changes in a weekly Slack digest
Collect meaningful updates into one weekly note so the team can spot changes that need attention.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Changes spread across API sources can be difficult to track, compare, and follow up on consistently.
- Collect relevant API updates into one review point.
- Call out changes that may need investigation.
- Make weekly follow-up easier to keep on track.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and explain which API changes to review and how to summarize them in Slack.
- 3Choose a Notis cron trigger and set a weekly schedule.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real set of API change information and review the digest.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis compare changes over time?
Only when the needed current and prior information is available through Api labz or provided to the automation.
What if there are no meaningful changes?
Tell Notis in the automation instruction whether to post a no-change note or skip the Slack update.
