Make urgent Baserow records hard to miss
When an urgent record needs follow-up, start the workflow with a webhook and let Notis turn its Baserow context into a Slack reminder.
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
Urgent records can sit among routine updates until someone remembers to check the table.
- Bring urgent records into a visible reminder.
- Include record context so the next step is easier to understand.
- Start the process with an HTTP request.
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 to inspect the Baserow record identified by the incoming request and create a Slack reminder only when it is urgent.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real example that identifies an urgent record.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to the automation's webhook starts it. The request or the instruction needs to provide enough information to locate the relevant Baserow record.
What if urgency is not recorded in Baserow?
Notis cannot infer an urgency field that is not present. Include the urgency in the request or use a field returned from the record.
