Make a scan signal a Slack reminder
When an external system flags a scan for follow-up, put the next step where your team can see it.
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
A scan that needs a human response can get lost between Beaconstac and the team's work chat.
- Turn a supplied scan signal into a concrete nudge.
- Keep campaign context with the reminder.
- Reduce manual copying between tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconstac and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Slack reminder from the context in an incoming Beaconstac-related scan webhook; arrange for your external system to send the HTTP request and include the campaign and follow-up details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test by sending one real example request and checking the reminder.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis receive Beaconstac scan webhooks automatically?
Beaconstac trigger events are not listed for this workflow. A Notis webhook starts it when an external system sends an HTTP request.
What should the request contain?
Include the campaign or QR identifier and the follow-up details Notis needs. The sending system must supply any context that is not available in the request.
