Why this helps
A blocker buried in a task list can sit unnoticed while teammates assume someone else is handling it.
- Surface stuck work where the team already discusses it.
- Include task notes so people have context without switching apps.
- Make the requested next step clear.
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 find a blocked Checkvist task and post its context and requested help in Slack.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real blocked task.

Can Notis include task notes?
