Keep Canva design reviews on schedule
When a design needs feedback, send its review task and due time to Notis to create a Slack reminder.
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
Review requests can slip between finishing a design and remembering to follow up.
- Put a review follow-up on Slack's reminder list.
- Use a due time supplied with the webhook request.
- Keep design review follow-up out of working memory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Slack reminder from the submitted review task and time.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real review task and a valid time.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation infer when the review is due?
Provide the reminder time in the webhook request. The listed Slack action accepts a Unix timestamp, seconds from now, or natural language.
Does this workflow send a message to reviewers?
No. Its Slack action creates a reminder; it does not send a channel message.
