Notis

Mark research that needs review

Make uncertainty visible so your team knows which findings need verification.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Add reaction to message

Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.

Why this helps

Unclear research can be mistaken for a confident decision when caveats are hard to see.

  • Expose evidence gaps
  • Improve decision quality
  • Create a clear review queue

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bigpicture io and Slack in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Research review marker.
  • 3Tell Notis to inspect each finding for missing evidence or uncertainty and add a review reaction to the matching Slack message.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one uncertain finding.

Questions about this workflow

What counts as missing evidence?

Define the facts, sources or confidence level required before a finding is considered ready.
