Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Datadog
Create Datadog downtime from maintenance posts
Use a Slack maintenance announcement to create a Datadog downtime and reduce avoidable alert noise during planned work.
Add Slack incident declarations to Datadog
Create a Datadog event when a team declares an incident in Slack, giving the investigation a shared starting point.
Mute a Datadog monitor when maintenance is approved
Use a specific Slack reaction on a maintenance message as a cue to mute the relevant Datadog monitor.
Create a Datadog monitor from recurring error reports
Turn a Slack report of a repeated service issue into a Datadog monitor proposal for ongoing visibility.
Create a Datadog SLO from a reliability goal
Capture a clearly stated service reliability target in Slack as a Datadog SLO for ongoing tracking.
Create a synthetic test from an API uptime request
Turn a clear Slack request for API uptime coverage into a Datadog synthetic API test.
Submit a custom metric from a Slack business update
Record a clearly quantified business or operations metric shared in Slack as a custom Datadog metric.
Search Datadog logs from a Slack support report
When a channel report identifies a service problem, search Datadog logs to bring evidence into the follow-up.

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.
