Turn flagged Backendless records into reminders
Give records that need attention a follow-up prompt in Slack, with the supplied context close at hand.
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
Records marked for review can be forgotten when they do not create a clear follow-up.
- Create a follow-up prompt when a record is reported as needing review.
- Keep the reminder text grounded in the payload.
- Make review work easier to pick back up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and describe the review reminder outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Slack reminder when the webhook payload identifies a record needing review, using its supplied summary and due time if present.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real flagged-record payload to test the reminder.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow decide which records need review?
No. The webhook payload should identify a record that needs review; Notis can use the supplied details to create the reminder.
What if no due time is provided?
The automation should only use a due time supplied in the payload. Include a timing instruction in your automation prompt if you have a preferred fallback.
