Give project blockers a visible path to resolution
Notis can turn a blocker called out in Slack into a Clientary task, making the next action easier to see and own.
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 Task
Tool to create a new task in Clientary. Use when you need to create a task with a title, optionally associating it with a project and assignee.
Why this helps
Blockers can stay in conversation without becoming work someone can track.
- Makes blockers visible alongside other work.
- Creates a concrete follow-up from a project discussion.
- Reduces repeated status questions in Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Clientary to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Clientary task when a Slack channel message states a project blocker and a concrete next step.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real blocker message that includes its next action.
