Notis

Escalate proposals with better timing

Respect focus time while keeping overdue work moving.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get team DND status

Retrieves a user's current do not disturb status.

Why this helps

Escalations interrupt focus blocks or arrive too late to help.

  • Improve escalation timing
  • Respect focus periods
  • Reduce unnecessary interruptions

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bidsketch and Slack once.
  • 2Create an automation named Owner DND Proposal Check.
  • 3Tell Notis to find overdue Bidsketch proposals, check each owner's Slack DND status, and post who can be escalated now.
  • 4Choose a recurring cron trigger and the Slack report channel.
  • 5Test with one overdue proposal.

Questions about this workflow

Does this change DND status?

No. It only checks the current status.

What if the owner is in DND?

Ask Notis to report a later retry time or identify an alternate escalation path.
