Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Google Tasks
Turn Slack commitments into Google Tasks
Create a follow-up task when a channel message contains a clear commitment or next step.
Capture task-worthy Slack DMs
Turn direct-message requests that need action into tasks with enough context to act later.
Turn the eyes reaction into a reminder task
Use a chosen Slack reaction as a lightweight signal to save a message as a task for later review.
Capture Slack messages marked for follow-up
Create a task when a message receives your agreed follow-up reaction, retaining the conversation context.
Add a setup reminder for new Slack channels
Create a task to set up purpose, owners, and norms when a new Slack channel is created.
Turn Slack decisions into implementation tasks
Create a task when a channel message states a decision that needs an execution step.
Create a task to resolve a reported blocker
Capture a clear blocker from a Slack channel as a task to investigate or resolve it.
Track customer promises made in Slack
Create a task when a channel message records a promise or deliverable for a customer.
Capture deadlines announced in Slack
Create a task when a channel message sets a concrete deadline for work that needs completion.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Google Tasks. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Google Tasks actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Clear tasks
Permanently clears all completed tasks from a specified google tasks list; this action is destructive and idempotent.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create a task list
Creates a new task list with the specified title.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Delete task
Deletes a specified task from a given task list in google tasks.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Delete task list
Permanently deletes an existing google task list, identified by `tasklist id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Get Task
Use to retrieve a specific google task if its `task id` and parent `tasklist id` are known.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Get task list
Retrieves a specific task list from the user's google tasks if the `tasklist id` exists for the authenticated user.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Insert Task
Creates a new task in a given `tasklist id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task parent` or positioned after an existing `task previous` sibling, where both `task parent` and `task previous` must belong to the same `tasklist id` if specified.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
List task lists
Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from google tasks; results may be paginated.
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.
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.
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.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
Notis built this automation:
Watch every run.

AI in the middle
Every step can include an LLM call: summarise, classify, extract, rewrite.
Full observability
Every run, every step, every input, all replay-able from Mission Control.
Human in the loop

Self-healing
When an API changes shape, Notis adapts the parser. Less midnight fire-fighting.
