Make time to review Beamer announcements

Put a small, dependable review prompt in Slack so product announcements do not wait indefinitely for attention.

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

Announcements can be visible without anyone setting aside time to assess them or decide on follow-up.

  • Create a clear prompt to review recent announcements.
  • Encourage timely discussion and follow-up.
  • Keep the reminder in the team's existing workspace.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Beamer and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome: check for relevant Beamer activity and create a Slack reminder to review it.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and confirm the reminder text and timing.

Questions about this workflow

Does this reminder contain a summary of the updates?

The reminder can include context that Notis can derive from returned Beamer activity. Keep the text focused, since Slack reminders are prompts to review.

Can the reminder recur?

The Notis schedule can recur. Slack's reminder action accepts time information, including natural language, so describe the intended timing clearly.
