Make alert noise easier to review regularly
A weekly review can help spot noisy or repetitive alerts before they drain more attention. Notis can create a Shortcut story to give that review a dependable home.
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
Alert noise becomes part of the background when teams lack a simple way to review and reduce it.
- Create a recurring space to notice repeated or low-value alert patterns.
- Make alert quality work visible alongside product work.
- Encourage small improvements before noise accumulates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect iLert and Shortcut to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create and name a new automation in Automations.
- 3Ask Notis in one prompt to create a weekly Shortcut story for reviewing alert patterns and noise reduction opportunities, using the iLert context available to it.
- 4Choose a weekly schedule trigger and a channel for run reports, then create the automation.
- 5Review the first story and confirm it gives the team a useful, focused review prompt.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically analyze all historical alerts?
A scheduled trigger alone does not fetch history. The prompt can use iLert context available to Notis during the run.
Can the review story focus on alert fatigue?
Yes. Include the alert patterns or noise reduction outcomes the team wants to review in the prompt.

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.
