Start consistent incident follow-up without rebuilding it
When your team uses a Shortcut template for incident follow-up, Notis can create a templated story from an incoming iLert webhook and reduce setup work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create story from template
Create story from template is used to add a new story derived from a template to your shortcut workspace.
Why this helps
Recreating the same incident follow-up structure by hand adds friction when attention is already stretched.
- Start with a consistent follow-up structure.
- Avoid rebuilding familiar incident sections for each event.
- Make the next response step easier to pick 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.
- 3Ask Notis in one plain-language prompt to create a Shortcut story from the appropriate template when the specified iLert webhook arrives.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports, then create the automation.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the resulting story uses the expected template.

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.
