Examples
Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Emailoctopus
Capture newsletter signups sent by DM
When someone sends a direct message with an explicit newsletter signup, add them to the chosen Emailoctopus list without leaving Slack to do the admin later.
Capture attendee newsletter opt-ins
Add event attendees to Emailoctopus only when a Slack channel message records both their email and an explicit request to receive updates.
Save beta update opt-ins from DMs
When a Slack DM clearly asks for beta updates and includes an email, create an Emailoctopus contact in the beta updates list.
Capture webinar reminder signups
Create Emailoctopus contacts from channel posts that contain an explicit request for webinar reminders and an email address.
Save case study permissions for follow-up
When a channel message records explicit permission to receive a case study follow-up and includes an email, add that contact to the designated Emailoctopus list.
Capture contacts from an approved launch signal
Use a specific Slack reaction on a message to mark a clearly consented launch email signup for addition to Emailoctopus.
Capture community update opt-ins by reaction
A chosen reaction on a Slack message can cue Notis to add a contact when the message includes an email and explicit consent for community updates.
Honor Slack requests to stop marketing emails
When someone clearly asks in a Slack channel to stop marketing emails and identifies their address, unsubscribe them from the associated Emailoctopus list.

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.
