Make decisions with Beamer context in view
Put the relevant product facts and unanswered questions in Slack before your team decides what to do next.
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
Teams lose time when a decision discussion starts without the product details or assumptions in view.
- Bring source facts into the decision conversation.
- Call out missing information instead of guessing.
- Make team discussions more focused.
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: summarize relevant Beamer activity for the stated decision, list confirmed facts and open questions, and post the brief in Slack.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real decision and check that unknown details remain explicit.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis recommend what the team should decide?
It can help reason from the information supplied, but a decision recommendation should be framed as analysis and must not treat missing facts as known.
What information should the webhook request include?
Include the decision to be made and any context not present in Beamer activity, such as constraints or success criteria.
