Bring aging incident follow-ups back into view
Unresolved incident work can disappear beneath new priorities. A scheduled Shortcut review story gives the team a simple prompt to revisit the open items that matter.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create story
Create story is used to add a new story to your shortcut workspace. this endpoint requires that either **workflow state id** or **project id** be provided, but will reject the request if both or neither are specified. the workflow state id has been marked as required and is the recommended field to specify because we are in the process of sunsetting projects in shortcut.
Why this helps
Unresolved incident follow-ups can quietly age when nobody has a recurring reminder to review them.
- Bring lingering incident work back to attention.
- Create a dependable review checkpoint.
- Make stale follow-ups easier to discuss and reprioritize.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect iLert and Shortcut to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations and name it for the review.
- 3Ask Notis in one plain-language prompt to create a Shortcut review story for unresolved or aging incident follow-ups available to it.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a channel for run reports, then create the automation.
- 5Review one scheduled result to ensure it reflects available incident context and gives a clear next step.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis inspect all iLert incidents automatically?
A cron trigger schedules the run; the prompt can use only incident context available to Notis during that run.
How do I make it useful without duplicating work?
Describe the review scope in the prompt and have Notis focus the story on unresolved follow-ups that need attention.

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.
Create label
