Notis

Keep incident follow-up in a usable order

When an incident is raised or resolved in Slack, Notis can sort your Excel incident table by the chosen date or status column.

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

Apply Table Sort

Apply a sort to a table using microsoft graph api.

Why this helps

Incident information becomes harder to scan when new entries and status changes leave the log out of order.

  • Make recent incidents easier to locate.
  • Keep an operational log organized after updates.
  • Reduce spreadsheet housekeeping during a busy incident.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Excel to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with one prompt to sort your named Excel incident table by its date or status column when a relevant incident update arrives in Slack.
  • 3Choose Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real incident update and confirm the intended sort is applied.
