Check who can act on a proposal now
Route urgent proposal work based on real availability.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Retrieve user presence
Retrieves a slack user's current real-time presence (e.g., 'active', 'away') to determine their availability, noting this action does not provide historical data or status reasons.
Why this helps
Urgent requests wait because nobody checks whether the assigned owner is reachable.
- Reduce waiting
- Route urgent work sensibly
- Improve handoff timing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bidsketch and Slack once.
- 2Create an automation named Proposal Owner Presence Check.
- 3Tell Notis to check the owner's Slack presence and report whether to wait, message, or escalate according to your rule.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and report channel.
- 5Test with one urgent proposal event.
Questions about this workflow
Does presence show why someone is away?
No. Slack presence indicates availability state, not a reason.
Can it message a backup owner?
This workflow reports the state; pair it with a Slack message or invite workflow for escalation.
