Action

Why this helps
Great ideas are shared in Slack, buried instantly, then forgotten. By the time you remember them, context is gone and the person has moved on.
- Collect all ideas in one system without searching Slack
- Preserve context and author of each idea
- Make decisions about ideas in batches instead of scattered moments
- Build a library of future work inspiration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'When someone submits an idea via webhook (or emails ideas@mycompany.com), append their name, idea, category, and submission time to my Ideas sheet'
- 3Set trigger to 'Incoming webhook' (or 'Incoming email') and action to 'Append Values to Spreadsheet'
- 4Share the webhook URL or email address with your team
- 5Test by submitting an idea and verifying it appears in Google Sheets within seconds
Questions about this workflow
Can team members submit ideas through Slack?
Not directly, but you can set up a Slack bot to call the webhook when someone reacts to a message or uses a slash command.
Can it capture votes or reactions?
If you capture emoji reactions or upvotes in Airtable first, Notis can sync those to the sheet.
How do we prioritize ideas after capture?
Review the sheet weekly. Add a Priority column and sort by votes or team consensus.
Can it auto-suggest categories based on idea content?
Tell Notis to categorize based on keywords, e.g., 'If idea mentions product, tag as Product; if mentions process, tag as Operations.'
