Keep BrainGraph deadlines from slipping
Have Notis review selected BrainGraph material on a schedule and create Slack reminders only for deadlines stated in the source.
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
Dates buried in notes and research are easy to miss when follow-up lives somewhere else.
- Surface dated commitments from source material.
- Put follow-up in a familiar Slack reminder.
- Avoid reminders for dates that are not stated in the material.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrainGraph and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, define which BrainGraph material to review and ask for Slack reminders only for explicit deadlines.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real item that includes a deadline and check the reminder details.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow infer deadlines from context?
Ask it to create reminders only for dates explicitly stated in BrainGraph material. Any missing time or reminder details must be supplied by you or left out.
What starts this workflow?
A recurring Notis schedule starts it because BrainGraph has no listed trigger events.
