Check Slack presence before Bolna handoffs
Know whether the next owner is available before you hand work over.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Retrieve user presence
Retrieves a slack user's current real-time presence (e.g., 'active', 'away') to determine their availability, noting this action does not provide historical data or status reasons.
Why this helps
Handoffs stall when work is assigned to someone who is away.
- Time handoffs better
- Reduce waiting
- Make ownership visible
