Why this helps
Blockers scattered across channels make it hard to decide what needs attention first.
- Gather active blockers in one reviewable place.
- Make stalled work easier to spot.
- Reduce channel-hopping before planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Slides to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe it to Notis in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to add messages that clearly describe blockers to the review deck, keeping their stated context.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real blocker message and check the summary.
Questions about this workflow
Will it include every complaint or question?
The instruction can limit the deck to messages that identify a concrete obstacle to progress.
Can the update preserve context?
Ask Notis to include a short summary and the relevant project or channel context stated in the message.
