Remember the first-week check-in

Set a reminder around the new hire's first week so a human can make time for a useful check-in.

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

The first week fills quickly, and a check-in can be missed without a deliberate reminder.

  • Turn a start date into a concrete check-in prompt.
  • Keep onboarding follow-up visible in Slack.
  • Let a person choose the timing and reminder wording.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BambooHR and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the start date for the new hire you identify and create a reminder for the first-week check-in time you specify.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and confirm the reminder date.

Questions about this workflow

Will it infer the best time for the check-in?

Specify the timing you want in the instruction. Notis can use the start date in the record to calculate the requested reminder.
