Bring blocked Baserow work back into view
A scheduled check can surface blocked work and create Slack reminders that bring the blocker and next step into focus.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Blocked items can stay blocked because their owner has to remember to restart the conversation.
- Review blocked work without scanning every record.
- Keep blocker context close to the follow-up reminder.
- Prompt a next-step decision for stalled items.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baserow and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis how to find blocked records and create a Slack reminder with the blocker and next step when those details are available.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real blocked record.
Questions about this workflow
Does this identify why a task is blocked?
Only if the reason or blocker is recorded in Baserow or supplied in the request. Otherwise, the reminder can include the record details that are available.
Can this remind me to review blockers periodically?
Yes. Choose a recurring schedule and state whether you want a reminder for each qualifying record or a review reminder.
