Catch website deadlines with scheduled checks
Let a scheduled page review turn clear dates into reminders with their source attached.
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
Deadlines published on external pages can be easy to overlook between manual checks.
- Check specified pages on a recurring schedule.
- Create reminders only for explicit dates found in accessible content.
- Include the page link and deadline context in each reminder.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browser tool and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name the pages and deadline types to look for.
- 3Choose a recurring Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run report destination, then test with an accessible page that contains a clear deadline.
Questions about this workflow
Will it remind me based on an inferred deadline?
Ask Notis to create reminders only when a date is explicitly stated and unambiguous. Inferred dates should be reported for review instead.
What if a page cannot be accessed?
Notis can report that the source was unavailable; it should not create a reminder based on missing page content.
