Examples
Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Apilio
Review Apilio numeric values from a Slack DM
When a DM flags a number worth checking, retrieve Apilio's numeric variables and have Notis summarize the values for your next decision.
Review Apilio conditions when a Slack message gets a reaction
Use a chosen Slack reaction on a message as a cue for Notis to retrieve Apilio conditions and give you a compact reference for the next step.
Bring Apilio string values into channel discussions
When a Slack channel discussion calls for a text value, retrieve Apilio's string variables and summarize them as context for the conversation.
Get oriented to Apilio logicblocks for a new Slack channel
When a Slack channel is created for an automation project, retrieve Apilio logicblocks and give the team a starting inventory for its planning discussion.
Look up existing Apilio logicblocks in an automation discussion
When a channel message starts an automation discussion, retrieve existing Apilio logicblocks so the team can plan with a clearer view of what's already there.
Get a weekly Apilio boolean state summary
On a recurring schedule, retrieve Apilio boolean variables and receive a short review that helps keep device and workflow states from slipping out of mind.
Schedule a monthly Apilio numeric variable pulse
Have Notis retrieve Apilio numeric variables monthly and summarize them as a lightweight check-in for values you want to keep visible.
Get a weekly Apilio string settings reference
Schedule a weekly retrieval of Apilio string variables so important text-based settings are easier to recall when planning the week.

Trigger Types
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a schedule (recurring or one-time), and a change in one of your Notis databases.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,500+ apps can start a workflow.
New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Scheduled triggers
Run a workflow on the clock, on a recurring schedule or once at a set date and time. Daily standups, hourly syncs, a one-off launch reminder: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers
Fire when a row in one of your Notis databases is added or edited, with optional filters on its properties. New lead added, status changed, value crosses a limit.

Why AI automation
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
