Notis

Turn on-demand web research into a Slack reminder

Use a quick research request to surface the next step and keep it from slipping out of view.

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

Research requests often reveal a task, but the follow-up gets lost between the findings and the workday.

  • Start a research check when a question arises.
  • Create a reminder only when the returned evidence supports a clear action.
  • Keep the follow-up visible in Slack.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bright Data and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe what to research and what qualifies as a reminder worthy follow-up.
  • 3Pick a webhook as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this automation?

An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts the automation. Bright Data itself does not expose trigger events for this pair.

Can the reminder be assigned to someone?

Slack's reminder action creates a reminder with text and time. Specify supported reminder details in the instruction, and avoid assuming assignment behavior beyond that action.

Can it avoid reminders for weak findings?

Yes. Describe the evidence and action threshold clearly, and ask Notis to skip reminders when no concrete follow-up is supported.
