Respect focus status when planning review handoffs

Check whether focus time is active before deciding how to coordinate a scenario review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get team DND status

Retrieves a user's current do not disturb status.

Why this helps

A review handoff can interrupt someone who has enabled do not disturb if their status is not checked.

  • Take current focus status into account.
  • Avoid unnecessary interruptions during DND.
  • Coordinate reviews with better context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Chatfai and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for focus-aware review coordination.
  • 3Describe which Slack user to check and how their current DND status should inform the handoff.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real review request with an accessible user reference and review the returned status.

Questions about this workflow

Does this change someone's DND setting?

No. The selected action only retrieves a user's current DND status.

What if the user is not identified?

Provide the user reference needed for the status check in the webhook request or accessible context.
