Notis

Keep incident resolution context with the work

After an incident is resolved, the useful details can be scattered across alerts and conversations. Notis can add a concise update to the related Shortcut story.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create story comment

Create comment allows you to create a comment on any story.

Why this helps

Teams often move on after resolution without leaving a durable note where follow-up work is tracked.

  • Leave a readable resolution note beside related engineering work.
  • Make later investigation easier without revisiting multiple tools.
  • Capture context while the incident is still fresh.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect iLert and Shortcut to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a named automation in the portal.
  • 3Write one prompt asking Notis to add a concise comment to the related Shortcut story when an incoming iLert webhook reports resolution.
  • 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports, then create the automation.
  • 5Test with one real resolution payload and check that the comment provides useful context.

Questions about this workflow

What should the comment contain?

State in the prompt which details matter, such as the affected service, resolution summary, and time, when those details are present in the request.

Does this create a new story?

No. It uses the Shortcut create story comment action to add an update to a related story.

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.

ActionInstant

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.
