Keep quiet Baserow records from going stale

Set a review window and let Notis flag records that have gone quiet, then create a Slack reminder with the context needed to restart progress.

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

Records without recent activity can quietly stall until a customer, project, or decision is already at risk.

  • Review inactive records on a predictable schedule.
  • Make a next step visible in Slack.
  • Use record dates or history only when Baserow provides them.

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 which records count as stale and to create a Slack reminder containing their available context.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real record whose last updated date is known.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis determine whether a record is stale?

Specify the age threshold and the date field to use. The field must be available in the Baserow data returned to Notis.

Can it detect a lack of activity if there is no update date?

Only if another available field or history provides that information. Otherwise, add the needed date or provide it in the workflow instruction.
