Automatically Remind Yourself of Confluence Tasks in Slack
Keep track of action items without context-switching. Notis creates a Slack reminder the moment a task appears in Confluence.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task (action item) is created in Confluence.
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
Tasks get buried in Confluence, and by the time you check Slack, you've forgotten about them. Managing two systems independently causes items to slip through.
- Tasks surface in your Slack workspace without you hunting Confluence
- Reminders appear at the right moment, not buried in a backlog
- Eliminates the cognitive load of tracking two separate inboxes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Confluence and Slack workspaces to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Create a new automation by telling Notis: 'When a task is created in Confluence, create a Slack reminder for me with the task details.'
- 3Choose the Slack channel where Notis will report automation runs (e.g., #automations or a private DM).
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as the trigger and test with a sample task.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set when the reminder fires?
Yes. When creating the automation, specify timing like 'immediately', 'in 30 minutes', or 'tomorrow at 9am'. Notis interprets natural language.
What if I'm busy when the reminder comes through?
Snooze it in Slack. You can reschedule the reminder for later, and Notis logs that action.
Does every task trigger a reminder?
By default, yes. You can refine the automation to filter by task assignee, label, or space if needed.
