Monitor team focus time automatically
Every morning at 8 AM, Notis checks which team members have do-not-disturb enabled and posts a quick summary to Slack. The team knows who's deep in focus work and respects that boundary without asking.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get team DND status
Retrieves a user's current do not disturb status.
Why this helps
Interrupting someone during deep work breaks context and productivity; ADHD teams especially need uninterrupted focus blocks but often lack visibility into who's available.
- Make focus time visible and respected across the team
- Reduce interruptions during deep work
- Build a culture that honors uninterrupted work blocks
- Help teams coordinate async communication around focus
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack to Notis
- 2Create a new automation with the prompt: 'Every morning at 8 AM, check who has do-not-disturb enabled on Slack and post a summary so the team knows who's in focus mode'
- 3Choose the trigger: Notis Cron (daily)
- 4Select 8 AM in your timezone
- 5Verify the summary posts at the scheduled time
Questions about this workflow
Is this visible to the whole team?
Yes, it posts to the Slack channel you specify. You can keep it private if preferred.
Does this respect people's privacy?
It only shows names and DND status, nothing personal. It's a team-wide awareness tool.
Can I customize the message?
Yes. Your prompt can ask Notis to include additional context, like 'mention if DND is for the whole day vs morning only'.
