Make partner dependencies visible to the team
A project can stall because of one message outside the team. Surface partner dependencies in Slack before they become surprises.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
External blockers remain hidden in private conversations and delay team planning.
- Make external dependencies easier to spot.
- Give colleagues context to adjust plans.
- Reduce manual relaying of partner updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Use one instruction to ask Notis to post new WhatsApp messages that indicate a partner dependency or blocker to a chosen Slack channel, with a short summary.
- 4Pick the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real partner blocker and confirm the message communicates the dependency.
