Make travel grocery planning easier to hand off
When a trip or offsite plan includes grocery needs, Notis can gather the items into a shareable list.
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
Create Shopping List Page
Create a shopping list page on instacart + return shareable url. attempts prod first then falls back to dev; errors from prod bubble up if both fail.
Why this helps
Travel preparation competes with other logistics, so small grocery needs are easy to overlook.
- Brings food preparation into the trip planning flow
- Makes grocery tasks easier to delegate
- Reduces last-minute memory checks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instacart to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to make a shopping list from explicit grocery needs in trip or offsite planning messages.
- 3Choose Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real planning message that identifies the trip and requested items.
Questions about this workflow
How should trips be distinguished?
Include the trip or offsite context in the message and tell Notis to use only messages tied to that plan.
