Turn a retrospective idea into a schedulable request

When a team agrees that a retrospective should happen, Notis can prepare the Calendarhero request from the channel discussion instead of leaving the follow-up to memory.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Create Meeting Request V2

Tool to create a new meeting request in calendarhero. use when scheduling a meeting with participants, time range, and additional details.

Why this helps

Teams often agree to review an incident or launch, then lose the scheduling action amid new work.

  • Keep learning conversations from being forgotten.
  • Carry the reason for the retrospective into the request.
  • Reduce the manual handoff after team agreement.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Calendarhero to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to act on explicit retrospective scheduling requests only when participants and timing are clear.
  • 3Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose the channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with a real retrospective request containing a date range and attendees.

Questions about this workflow

Does a mention of a retrospective create a request?

Only if the prompt requires a clear decision to schedule one and usable meeting details.

Can Notis decide who should attend?

It should use participants stated in the discussion or ask for clarification.
