Notis

Catch usage thresholds that need a decision

When the incoming Billsby request includes usage and a threshold, Notis can create a Slack reminder for the right review.

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

Usage concerns can surface late when no one is watching allowance data closely.

  • Bring threshold reviews into a visible queue
  • Use the usage data provided in the request
  • Prompt a human to assess the account and next step

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Billsby and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a Slack reminder when a Billsby webhook reports usage at or above a threshold you specify.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real usage example that includes the threshold and usage value.

Questions about this workflow

Does Billsby provide a usage threshold in every webhook?

Not necessarily. The request needs to include the usage value and threshold, or you need to specify the threshold in your instruction.

Does the reminder change a customer's allowance?

No. It prompts a person to review the account; it does not modify Billsby.
