Route External Events to Slack Reminders via Webhook

Connect your entire tech stack to Slack. Use Notis webhooks to trigger reminders from external systems, keeping all tasks in one place.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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

Notifications scatter across tools (Zapier, IFTTT, custom integrations), creating cognitive overload. Centralizing reminders in Slack reduces context-switching.

  • Consolidate reminders from multiple external systems into Slack
  • Reduce notification fragmentation across tools
  • Trigger reminders directly from any custom backend or API
  • Build flexible automations without rebuilding your entire stack

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect HubSpot and Slack to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation called 'External Event Reminder' with this prompt: 'When a webhook receives an event, create a Slack reminder with the event data. Extract relevant details and format them as a clear action item.'
  • 3Select 'Webhook' as your trigger and pick your personal DM as your reminder channel.
  • 4Copy the webhook URL and configure your external system (custom app, third-party API, Zapier, IFTTT) to POST events to this URL. Test with a sample event.

Questions about this workflow

What data can I send through the webhook?

Any JSON data your system generates. Notis will parse it and extract relevant reminder text, dates, and priority information.

Can I authenticate the webhook to prevent spam?

Yes. Notis supports token-based authentication or API keys to ensure only authorized systems can trigger reminders.

Can reminders be scheduled for future times?

Yes. Include a timestamp in your webhook payload and Notis will schedule the reminder for the specified time.
