Create Reminders from External Tools
When your project management tool detects a music task, send a webhook and Notis creates a Slack reminder. Tasks centralize in Slack without tool-switching.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Task reminders scatter across multiple tools, forcing frequent app-switching and attention fragmentation.
- Centralize reminders from multiple tools in Slack
- Reduce app-switching and cognitive load
- Get reminders exactly when you need them
- Enable flexible integrations without native support
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Webhook task reminders'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When I send a webhook with a task name and due date, create a Slack reminder for that task'.
- 4Select 'Notis Webhook' as your trigger type.
- 5Copy the webhook URL.
- 6Configure your external tool to send a POST with {"task": "Review new songs", "due_date": "2024-01-15"} format.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set the reminder time independently of the due date?
Yes, include a 'remind_date' field in your webhook payload, e.g., 'remind me 1 day before due'.
Can I send reminders to specific people?
Yes, include a 'recipient' or 'user_email' field in the webhook, and Notis creates reminders for them.
Can I bulk-send reminders?
Yes, send multiple webhook payloads in rapid succession, and Notis creates reminders for each one.
