Make grid changes easier to understand
Share what changed and why it matters, so teammates can catch up without decoding a raw record update.
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
A bare status change can leave teammates unsure what happened or what to do next.
- Turn supplied before-and-after details into plain language.
- Include the likely next step when the request provides enough context.
- Reduce back-and-forth to interpret updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the kind of change brief you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to explain the webhook's before-and-after details in a Slack message.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a Slack report channel.
- 5Test with one real change request that includes before-and-after details.
Questions about this workflow
Does the request need both old and new values?
Include them if you want Notis to explain the difference. The workflow cannot infer values that are not supplied.
Can it recommend a next step?
It can suggest one when the supplied context supports it. Specify any decision rules in your instruction.
