Turn a Clay lead signal into a Slack follow-up reminder
When a Clay workflow surfaces a lead that needs action, turn the next step into a dated Slack 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
Enrichment can reveal a timely reason to reach out, but the follow-up is easy to lose among open tabs and unfinished tasks.
- Convert a Clay-provided follow-up into a Slack reminder while the signal is fresh.
- Use the date and context supplied in the webhook payload.
- Keep reminder creation tied to a clear rule described in plain language.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clay and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the follow-up workflow.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review each incoming Clay payload and create a Slack reminder only when it contains a follow-up action and usable due time.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Send one real Clay example to the webhook and verify the reminder text and time in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Configure your Clay routine to send the relevant payload to that webhook using Clay's available capabilities.
What if the payload has no due time?
The instruction should tell Notis to skip creating a timed reminder or follow a fallback you explicitly provide. Slack reminder creation requires a usable time.
Can Notis infer who owns the follow-up?
Only when the payload or your instruction provides enough information. Include the owner in the payload or define an explicit default.
