Keep Zendesk response commitments visible in Slack
Give response work a gentle place in your day, so a customer request does not disappear under newer tasks.
Trigger
New Zendesk Ticket
Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.
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
When the day gets busy, the time to send a thoughtful first response can slip by unnoticed.
- Puts a response cue in the tool the team already checks.
- Helps protect time for customer communication.
- Reduces the need to hold response deadlines in working memory.

- 1Connect Zendesk and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and state in one plain-language instruction what response reminder to create in Slack.
- 3Select the Zendesk New Zendesk Ticket trigger and choose a response-focused view.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports, create the automation, and test with one real ticket.
