Trigger

Action
Get Correlations
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of recent correlations. use when exploring relationships between your tracked attributes, optionally filtering by strength or attribute.
Why this helps
Project updates can trigger quick decisions before you have checked which personal patterns tend to shape your focus or energy.
- Review relevant recent correlations when a project changes pace.
- Keep reflection close to the channel where work is discussed.
- Use personal analytics as context without turning it into a diagnosis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Exist to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation, or open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction: when a project update appears in the chosen Slack channel, fetch recent Exist correlations and summarize any useful context for my next step.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real project update and review the correlation summary.
