Action

A task can be clear about the action yet vague about the terminology behind it.

  • Reduce back and forth
  • Help owners act sooner
  • Preserve the task context

  • 1Connect Confluence and Dictionary api in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation instructing Notis to find the key unfamiliar word in each new task and request its definition.
  • 3Choose the New Task Created trigger and a report channel.
  • 4Test with one real task containing domain language.
