Create Slack reminders after Better Stack incidents
Keep post incident work from disappearing when the alert is over.
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
Teams resolve the immediate issue, then forget reviews, fixes, and documentation.
- Protect follow-up commitments
- Reduce repeat incidents
- Keep retrospectives on the calendar
