Turn an urgent Checkvist task into a Slack reminder
Give a time-sensitive task a nudge that appears when it matters.
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
A task can have a due date and still get lost if nobody remembers to check the list again.
- Put a follow-up nudge on the Slack timeline.
- Carry the task context into the reminder text.
- Help prevent time-sensitive work from slipping.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Checkvist and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the urgent Checkvist task and create a Slack reminder using its due date and relevant context.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real urgent task and review the reminder time.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reminder time come from Checkvist?
Notis can use the task's due date to determine reminder timing. Specify how far ahead to remind in your instruction.
Does this send a Slack message as well?
This workflow creates a Slack reminder. Ask for a separate message workflow if you also want a channel post.
