Start Each Day With Automatic Reminders
Neurodivergent brains are not designed for remembering daily tasks. Notis creates automatic Slack reminders each day, freeing you to focus on work instead of tracking what you need to do.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Neurodivergent founders rely on external systems to remember tasks, deadlines, and daily priorities. Without automatic reminders, important work slips and deadlines get missed.
- Reduce mental load by externalizing daily task memory
- Start each day with clear priorities
- Catch important deadlines before they slip
- Build a lightweight system you can rely on
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis 'Create a Slack reminder every morning at 9am to review my daily priorities' or use the portal.
- 3Describe what you want the reminder to say (e.g., 'Review your top 3 tasks and update status').
- 4Choose the time and frequency (e.g., 'daily at 9am on weekdays').
- 5Test by running the automation and confirm the reminder appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different reminders for different days?
Yes. Create multiple automations with different schedules, or describe your pattern to Notis (e.g., 'Monday: planning reminder, Friday: review reminder').
Can I change the reminder text?
Yes. Update your automation prompt to describe the text you want, and Notis will adjust it.
Will reminders pile up if I do not dismiss them?
Slack reminders can be dismissed or ignored. They are designed to be lightweight and not intrusive.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Slack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Slack actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Set snooze duration
Deprecated: turns on do not disturb mode for the current user, or changes its duration. use `set dnd duration` instead.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Add a custom emoji to a Slack team
Deprecated: adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url. use `add emoji` instead.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Add an emoji alias
Adds an alias for an existing custom emoji in a slack enterprise grid organization.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Add call participants
Registers new participants added to a slack call.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Add emoji
Adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url; subject to workspace emoji limits.
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
