Bring scorecard exceptions into Slack
Send a KPI snapshot to a Notis webhook and get a short Slack brief of the measures that need attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Finding the few off-track measures in a scorecard takes time and makes it easy to miss a useful follow-up.
- See supplied off-target KPIs in one concise update.
- Keep the reported target and actual values together for quick review.
- Reduce the need to switch between the scorecard and team chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BSC Designer and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis by naming it and describing the outcome.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize supplied off-target KPI values and send the brief to Slack.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scorecard snapshot that includes target and actual values.
Questions about this workflow
How does the workflow receive scorecard data?
A webhook starts the automation when it receives a request. Include the KPI snapshot and its target values in that request; the listed BSC Designer context does not provide a native trigger event.
Can Notis decide whether a KPI is off target?
It can compare the actual and target values included in the submitted snapshot. It cannot infer missing targets or values.
Which Slack action does it use?
It uses the provided Post message to channel action to send the brief.
