Carry your Amazing Marvin focus into Slack
Start the day with one useful next step surfaced in Slack from your Amazing Marvin plan.
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
Your priorities live in Marvin, but the day gets busy before you return to check them.
- Bring one priority into the place you already check for work.
- Reduce the effort of reopening your task planner to remember what matters.
- Keep the reminder focused on a real task returned by Marvin.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it Daily Marvin Focus.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review today's Amazing Marvin priorities and create a Slack reminder for the most important next step.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the reminder text is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run when a Marvin task changes?
No. Amazing Marvin has no listed trigger events for this workflow, so it runs on the schedule you choose.
Can Notis choose a priority that Marvin does not expose?
Notis can only use task details returned from Marvin. If the relevant priority or due-date information is unavailable, include the decision rule in your instruction or choose another task.
