Keep cat breed follow-ups from slipping
Send a request to Notis with the breed and reminder details, then have Cats provide breed context while Slack holds the 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
Breed research can create a useful follow-up that gets lost among chat messages and open tabs.
- Turns an incoming request into a concrete reminder.
- Keeps breed context alongside the follow-up.
- Reduces the need to remember to revisit research later.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the breed lookup and reminder outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick a webhook as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real breed request and reminder.
