Examples
Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Blackbaud
Look up a gift from a Slack DM
Use a gift ID shared in a direct message to retrieve its Blackbaud details and report the result where you choose.
Use an approval reaction to queue a gift
Treat a designated reaction on a donation message as the signal to add its confirmed gift details to an open batch.
Answer gift questions in a channel
When a channel message includes a specific gift ID and asks for its details, have Notis retrieve the record.
Check membership status from a DM
Retrieve membership details from Blackbaud when a direct message includes the membership junction ID.
Surface membership details for renewal planning
Use a membership junction ID posted in a planning channel to retrieve current status and expiration details.
Check a payment transaction from Slack
Retrieve the status, amount, payment method, or error details for a transaction ID shared in a DM.
Investigate payment issues shared in a channel
Retrieve transaction details when a channel report identifies a specific Blackbaud payment transaction.
Retrieve a gift record when it is flagged
Use a selected reaction on a Slack message containing a gift ID to fetch the Blackbaud record for review.

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.
