Remember to check beach details before you go
Create a recurring nudge to review current beach information before your group heads out.
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
Plans can move forward while nobody remembers to recheck conditions or tide predictions.
- Put a recurring planning nudge in Slack.
- Prompt a fresh check of current conditions and tide predictions.
- Reduce the chance that a useful review slips through the cracks.

- 3Tell Notis to create a Slack reminder to review current conditions and tide predictions for your selected beaches.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the reminder text and timing.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reminder itself contain live conditions?
This workflow creates a reminder. It does not claim to attach live conditions unless your instruction asks Notis to retrieve and include returned data.
Can I change how often it runs?
Yes. Choose the recurring schedule that fits your planning routine when you set the trigger.
