Turn Bitly link follow-up into a Slack reminder

Capture the review task and due time in a webhook request, then let Slack remind you before the link follow-up slips off your list.

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

A shortened link can be ready to share while its review or approval task gets forgotten.

  • Keep a link review task attached to a reminder.
  • Accept natural language timing or a supplied timestamp.
  • Reduce reliance on remembering a follow-up later.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bitly and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: create a Slack reminder using the text and due time provided in the webhook request.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real reminder and a future time.

Questions about this workflow

Does Bitly provide the reminder due date automatically?

No. There are no Bitly trigger events in this workflow package. Supply the reminder text and time in the webhook request.

What time formats can the Slack action use?

The action accepts a Unix timestamp, seconds from now, or natural language such as 'in 15 minutes'.

Can the reminder be assigned to a teammate?

The listed action creates a Slack reminder. Do not assume it can assign it to someone else; specify the reminder details the action supports.
