Notis

Bring specialists into account research

Get the right expertise involved while the research is still actionable.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Invite users to a Slack channel

Invites users to an existing slack channel using their valid slack user ids.

Why this helps

Important opportunities wait when specialist input depends on manual coordination.

  • Shorten coordination time
  • Make expertise available earlier
  • Keep research context in one place

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bigpicture io and Slack in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Specialist research invite.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify when a finding needs specialist input, locate the existing Slack channel and invite the relevant Slack users.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one specialist review case.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis identify specialists?

Provide the roles, names or email context it should use when deciding who to invite.

What if the channel does not exist?

Ask Notis to report the missing channel instead of creating one automatically.
