Keep team goals visible on your calendar
Your team announces a Q3 goal in Slack: 'Ship the new dashboard by July 15.' Notis creates a calendar event on July 15 so that deadline stays top-of-mind instead of getting lost in Slack history.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Team goals get announced, discussed, then forgotten because they're buried in Slack. By the time the deadline approaches, nobody remembers and scrambles at the last minute.
- Keep team goals visible on your calendar instead of forgotten in Slack threads
- Get calendar reminders about approaching deadlines so you can adjust priorities
- Build team accountability by calendaring shared goals visibly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Calendar to Notis
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a goal or milestone is mentioned in Slack with a deadline, create a calendar event on that date'
- 3Notis will listen for keywords like goal, milestone, ship, launch, or deliver
- 4Test by announcing a mock goal with a deadline in a team channel
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which date is the deadline?
It looks for date references like 'by July 15' or 'end of quarter.' You can also ask it to ask the channel for clarification if it's unsure.
What if there's no specific deadline mentioned?
Notis can prompt the channel for one, or you can manually add a deadline after creating the event.
Will this include all-hands announcements or just your team?
You can set it to specific channels or filter by who's posting—for example, only when leadership announces goals.
