Make release cutoffs harder to miss
Use a scheduled review of available release context to remind yourself before the cutoff you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Release preparation can become a last-minute scramble when cutoff dates are not kept in view.
- Bring upcoming release dates into Slack as reminders.
- Use a cutoff window that fits your release process.
- Keep preparation visible without repeated manual checks.
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 find release dates available in Bitbucket and create a Slack reminder before the cutoff window you specify.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real release example; supply dates if they are not returned from Bitbucket.
Questions about this workflow
Can it read release dates automatically?
Only when those dates are present in Bitbucket data available to Notis. Otherwise include them in the information you provide.
Can I set how early the reminder arrives?
Yes. State the lead time and schedule criteria in your plain-language instruction.
