Keep pending Captions video reviews from slipping
Use a recurring Notis check to turn supplied pending-review details into Slack reminders, so unfinished feedback has a clear follow-up.
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
Review requests get buried when nobody owns the next check or remembers which videos still need feedback.
- Creates a clear follow-up for pending reviews
- Reduces manual checking and reminder writing
- Uses supplied review status instead of assuming access to Captions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Captions and Slack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis by describing the outcome in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check supplied review items and create a Slack reminder for each item still pending.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pending-review example and confirm the reminder text and timing.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis see the Captions review queue automatically?
This workflow uses only the events provided here, and Captions exposes no trigger events. Supply the review items and their status for Notis to assess.
What does the schedule do?
The Notis cron trigger starts the automation on a recurring schedule you choose. It can create reminders from the pending items supplied at each run.
Will the workflow remind people when a review is complete?
It should create reminders only for items identified as pending in the supplied information. The reminder action does not monitor later status changes.
