Review Important Files with Slack Reminders
Files attached to Confluence pages deserve attention. Notis reminds you in Slack when new files arrive, so you actually review them.
Trigger
New Attachment Added
Triggers when a new attachment is uploaded to a Confluence page. Optionally filters by media type.
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
Attachments pile up unreviewed. You forget files were uploaded, or you remember only days later. Critical documents get lost in the backlog.
- Files get your attention when they matter most, not when you stumble upon them
- Reminders are personalized to your timezone and preferences
- One less thing to track manually across platforms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a file is attached to a Confluence page, create a Slack reminder for me to review it.'
- 3Optionally filter by file type (e.g., only PDFs or spreadsheets) or by space.
- 4Test by attaching a file to a page and checking Slack for the reminder.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change when the reminder fires?
Yes. Tell Notis when you want to be reminded: 'In 2 hours', 'tomorrow at 10am', or 'next Monday.' It respects your schedule.
What if I want to review the file immediately?
Click the reminder link in Slack. Notis includes a direct link to the file in Confluence.
Can I skip attachments from certain users or spaces?
Absolutely. You can exclude automated uploads or low-priority spaces to reduce noise.
