Set Slack reminders for Aryn document reviews
Turn a document that needs attention into a timely reminder in Slack.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Review requests can slip when a document is ready but nobody has a clear reminder to return to it.
- Create a reminder from a concrete document review request.
- Keep the review deadline visible in Slack.
- Reduce reliance on memory for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aryn and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a Slack reminder for review requests that include reminder text and a due time.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request that includes a valid time.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the reminder time come from?
It must be included in the webhook data or supplied by the user in the request. The Slack action accepts a time such as a Unix timestamp or natural language time.
Can the reminder include the document context?
Yes. Include a concise reminder text that identifies the document or points to its accessible link.
Will it guess a missing deadline?
The instruction should skip or request clarification when a review request has no usable due time.
