Create Slack reminders for upcoming rental returns
Give the team enough notice to prepare every return.
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
Return preparation gets rushed when upcoming dates are buried in rental records.
- Surface returns before they become urgent
- Give staff a clear preparation cue
- Reduce missed inspection and restock steps
