Why this helps
Critical emails get buried in your inbox while your team waits in Slack. You're context-switching between email and Slack, and urgent items slip through the cracks.
- Urgent messages reach your team instantly without you forwarding manually
- Single notification point removes the need to jump between email and Slack
- Team stays synchronized on critical updates without cascading delays
- Searchable Slack history replaces lost context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Agent mail and Slack accounts to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
- 2In Notis, describe what you want: 'When an urgent email arrives, post it to the team Slack channel.'
- 3Select the trigger: New Email Received from Agent mail.
- 4Choose a Slack channel to report each run (so you know when automation fires).
- 5Test by sending a sample urgent email and verifying it posts to Slack.
Questions about this workflow
What makes an email 'urgent'?
You can define urgent in your automation prompt: emails with specific keywords (urgent, ASAP), from key clients, with flagged priority, or from certain senders.
Does this forward the entire email?
Yes, Notis includes the subject, sender, and body in the Slack message so your team sees everything without opening email.
Can I exclude certain senders?
Yes. Describe the exceptions in your prompt, like 'except for newsletters' or 'only from these clients.'
