Recurring Vendor Follow-Up Reminder
Follow up with vendors on a schedule, not by memory. Get a Slack reminder every week.
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
Key vendor relationships get neglected because follow-ups aren't urgent and disappear from your mental to-do list. Months pass before you realize you haven't checked in.
- Relationships stay warm without requiring you to remember every contact
- Slack reminders fit into your existing workflow, not yet another email system
- Consistency in communication builds stronger partnerships
- You're never caught off-guard when vendors reach out because you've been checking in
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Friday morning, send me a Slack reminder to follow up with my top 5 vendors.'
- 3Select notis_cron as your trigger (recurring schedule).
- 4Specify the day and time (e.g., 'every Friday at 9am').
- 5Test by manually triggering a run and verifying the reminder appears at the scheduled time.
Questions about this workflow
How often should I follow up?
Weekly is common for active vendors, but you can adjust to bi-weekly or monthly depending on your relationships.
Can I list specific vendors in the reminder?
Yes. Notis includes vendor names or a list in the reminder text so you know exactly who to contact.
What if I've already followed up recently?
You can dismiss the reminder in Slack, and Notis doesn't double-remind. Next week's reminder will be fresh.
