Follow through on promised WhatsApp updates
When you say you will send an update, capture the promise as a reminder before your attention moves elsewhere.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
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
A promised update can be easy to lose among new messages and changing priorities.
- Record a promise at the moment it appears.
- Keep a short explanation with the reminder.
- Support reliable follow-through with less mental tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or using Automations in the portal.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create a Slack reminder when a new WhatsApp message contains a promise to send an update, including the context and timing if present.
- 4Choose the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real promised update and check that the reminder is clear.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow use timing stated in the message?
Ask Notis to use timing mentioned in the conversation when setting the reminder.
Does it remind me for every promise?
The instruction can focus on promises to send a future update, rather than other types of commitments.
