Why this helps
A last-minute change in Slack may be easy to miss before a scheduled campaign sends.
- Turns a clear risk notice into a timely pause.
- Gives the team room to review the change.
- Reduces the need to remember which scheduled send needs attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Enginemailer to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to pause only the scheduled campaign clearly identified in a Slack risk alert, and to report when the campaign cannot be matched confidently.
- 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger, select the report channel, and test with one real risk update.
Questions about this workflow
