Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Files com

View example

Find the right Files.com folder from Slack

When someone asks where a project file belongs in a channel, list relevant Files.com folders so the team can find the right destination without interrupting their work.

Look up folder paths from a Slack DM

When a DM asks for a Files.com destination, list folders and report likely path matches so the requester can continue without a manual folder hunt.

View example

Check file access after a Slack question

When a channel message asks who can access a Files.com resource, use its available context to list permissions and report the current access entries for review.

View example

Review Files.com access from a DM

When a DM asks for a review of access to a named Files.com resource, retrieve its permission entries and report them for follow-up.

View example

Check access when a message gets eyes

Use an eyes reaction on a Slack message as a request to retrieve and report permissions for a clearly identified Files.com resource.

View example

Find a destination when a file is flagged

When a Slack message about a file receives the chosen reaction, list relevant Files.com folders and report likely filing destinations.

View example

Look up Files.com groups from Slack

When a channel asks which Files.com groups are available, retrieve the group list and share the results so a teammate can inspect the directory.

View example

Retrieve the Files.com group list from a DM

When a direct message requests available Files.com groups, retrieve the paginated group list and report it for the requester to review.

Surface project folders when a Slack channel opens

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 recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ 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.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

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.
