Keep community actions from falling through the cracks
Make the next community action easier to follow by placing its supplied due time in Slack.
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
Community tasks can be scattered across updates, leaving owners to remember what needs attention and when.
- Make explicit community actions easier to track.
- Use a due time provided with the event.
- Skip reminders when the next action is unclear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis the outcome you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create a reminder only when the event states an action and due time.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real community event that includes an action and timing.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis assign an owner automatically?
Only if the event supplies an owner or your instruction defines one using available data. Otherwise the reminder should not claim an owner.
Can this handle recurring community actions?
This workflow creates a reminder from each qualifying event. Recurring schedules should be configured explicitly in Slack or through a separate Notis schedule instruction.
