Keep the incident's final update with its epic
When major incident work is grouped under an epic, its resolution update belongs there too. Notis can post a concise summary to the relevant Shortcut epic.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create epic comment
This endpoint allows you to create a threaded comment on an epic.
Why this helps
A final incident update can be missed by people following the longer-running work rather than the alert channel.
- Keep the wider team informed where the coordinated work lives.
- Make resolution visible to people who may not follow alert channels.
- Leave a useful checkpoint for remaining follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect iLert and Shortcut to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in Automations.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to add a concise resolution comment to the related Shortcut epic when the iLert webhook reports resolution.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports, then create the automation.
- 5Test using one resolution payload and verify the comment appears on the intended epic.

Create group
Creates a new group in the shortcut system with customizable properties. this endpoint allows you to set up a group with a unique mention name, display name, optional description, and various customization options. use this when you need to establish a new team, department, or any other collective within your shortcut workspace. the created group can include members, associated workflows, and visual customizations like color and icon. this endpoint is particularly useful for organizing your shortcut workspace structure, facilitating team collaboration, and streamlining workflow management. note that while member and workflow associations can be set during creation, they can also be modified later using separate endpoints.
Create iteration
The createiteration endpoint allows you to create a new iteration in shortcut, which represents a time-boxed period for completing a set of stories or tasks. this endpoint is crucial for teams using agile methodologies, enabling them to plan and track progress over specific time periods. use this endpoint when setting up sprint cycles, planning releases, or organizing work into manageable timeframes. the endpoint requires essential information such as the iteration's name and date range, while also offering options to add followers, associate groups, and attach labels for better organization and tracking. it's important to note that while multiple groups can be added via the api, the current web ui only displays one group association. this endpoint should not be used for modifying existing iterations; instead, use the dedicated update endpoint for such changes.
