Start the week with grocery plans in one place
A scheduled review can turn recent Slack grocery commitments into a list, so they do not depend on someone remembering every message.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Weekly plans tend to be spread across channels and easy to forget when the week gets busy.
- Creates a regular moment to gather grocery plans
- Reduces repeated channel searching
- Makes the week's shopping easier to review
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 review recent Slack grocery commitments weekly and create an Instacart list.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with recent Slack messages that contain concrete grocery plans, then review the list.
Questions about this workflow
Does this require a Slack event trigger?
