Get blocked grid work in front of the team
Bring exceptions into the team conversation with the context needed to decide what happens next.
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
Blocked work can wait too long when exceptions are mixed in with routine records.
- Give exceptions a dedicated place for team attention.
- Include the supplied blocker and record context.
- Avoid treating every routine update as urgent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and describe which exceptions warrant an alert.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to post a concise exception summary from the webhook payload.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and the Slack report channel.
- 5Test with one real exception request.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis decide whether a record is blocked?
It can use the state or exception details included in the request. If the payload does not define the condition, state the rule in your instruction.
Can the alert contain a diagnosis of the issue?
Not unless the request or your instruction provides enough information. The workflow should not invent missing context.
