Give blocked work a next step
Capture a blocker through a webhook and leave yourself a Slack reminder to return to it.
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
Blocked work often sits still because the next person or next check is not obvious later.
- Record a next step while the blocker is fresh.
- Include supplied repository or issue context in the reminder.
- Keep blocked work from relying on memory alone.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bitbucket and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Slack reminder from requests marked blocked, including the supplied next step and follow-up time.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real blocked issue example.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know something is blocked?
Your request must include the blocker status or enough Bitbucket context for Notis to recognize the condition.
Can it assign the blocker to someone?
This workflow creates a reminder. Include the intended follow-up in its text; Slack assignment is not part of the selected action.
