Keep Boxhero reorder decisions moving
When a stock report needs a decision, create a Slack reminder that brings the follow-up back at the right time.
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 low-stock alert can be seen once and then forgotten before anyone makes a reorder decision.
- Give reorder decisions a clear follow-up point.
- Create reminders from submitted inventory reports.
- Reduce the chance that a stock alert goes stale.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Boxhero and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what you want.
- 3Describe when a submitted low-stock report should produce a reminder and what it should say.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real low-stock example and a suitable reminder time.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know which reorder decisions are still open?
Only if the status is included in the submitted information or another accessible source. Otherwise provide the items that need follow-up.
Can I provide a reminder time?
Yes. State the follow-up timing in your instruction or webhook request.
