Share a weekly roundup of sources on a topic
Keep useful reading together in Slack so teammates can open the original pages when they have time.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Useful articles and pages get lost when everyone searches separately and shares links in different places.
- Collect topic sources in one scheduled post.
- Make original pages easy to open and inspect.
- Reduce duplicated searching across the team.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the topic, source selection criteria, and roundup format.
- 3Pick a recurring weekly schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real topic and review the links for relevance.
Questions about this workflow
Will the roundup include article summaries?
Ask for short descriptions alongside links if that is useful. Keep them grounded in the information Autom returns.
Can it avoid repeating sources from last week?
Only if prior roundup data is available for comparison. Otherwise, it can compile the current run's sources.
