Make Beamer announcements easier to act on
Turn an announcement into a short Slack brief that explains what changed and what your team should know.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
A release announcement may be accurate but still leave busy teammates unsure what changed or why it matters.
- Add a concise explanation alongside the announcement.
- Help teammates scan updates quickly.
- Keep product communications in a familiar team channel.
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: when started, retrieve the relevant Beamer announcement, summarize its practical impact, and post the brief in Slack.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real announcement and review the Slack post.
Questions about this workflow
Does Beamer start this automatically when an announcement is published?
No Beamer trigger events are listed here. A Notis webhook starts this workflow, and a caller must send the request when the brief is needed.
Can the brief include an audience or impact assessment?
Yes, if Beamer returns the needed announcement details or you include the audience and context in the request. Missing context should be supplied rather than assumed.
