Get Slack Reminders When Confluence Matches Your Searches
Stop manually running searches. Notis monitors Confluence for content matching your interests and reminds you in Slack.
Trigger
New CQL Content Match
Triggers when new Confluence content appears that matches a user-provided CQL query.
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
You have saved searches in Confluence, but you forget to check them. Relevant content appears, but you discover it weeks later by accident.
- Relevant content finds you, instead of you hunting for it
- Reminders appear at a time you choose, not when Confluence thinks you need them
- Keeps you aware of documentation that matters to your role
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Monitor Confluence for content matching [your CQL query], and create a Slack reminder when new matches appear.'
- 3Provide your search criteria (e.g., 'label=bug AND space=ENG') or describe what you want to monitor in plain language.
- 4Test by adding content that matches your search and confirming the reminder appears.
Questions about this workflow
What's a CQL query?
CQL is Confluence Query Language. But you don't need to know it—just tell Notis what you want to monitor (e.g., 'high-priority bugs' or 'upcoming events'), and it translates that.
Can I set different reminders for different searches?
Yes. Create separate automations for each search. Each can have its own timing and channel.
How often does Notis check for matches?
You choose: every hour, daily, weekly. Tell Notis your preference when setting up.
