Turn Comments Into Automatic Reminders
Comments fade from memory without action. Notis converts every new comment into a Slack reminder, so you respond to feedback immediately instead of letting it slip.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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
Neurodivergent founders receive feedback but forget to respond, leading to communication breakdowns, stalled collaboration, and frustration from team members waiting for replies.
- Never forget to respond to feedback
- Reduce response lag and show team you are engaged
- Build accountability into your comment workflow
- Turn passive feedback into active tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Slack to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis 'Create a Slack reminder for me when someone comments on my Google Docs' or use the portal.
- 3Choose when you want the reminder (e.g., 'in 1 hour', 'next morning', 'in 30 minutes') and name your automation.
- 4Test by adding a comment to a document and watch the reminder appear in Slack at the scheduled time.
- 5Adjust the reminder timing if needed (e.g., 'remind me at 2pm each day if there are unresponded comments').
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different reminder times for different documents?
Yes. Describe the rule in your prompt, like 'Reminders for client feedback after 2 hours, internal feedback after 1 hour.'
What if I get multiple comments at once?
Notis will create a reminder for each comment, or you can ask it to batch them (e.g., 'Create one reminder with all comments from the day').
Can I dismiss the reminder after responding?
Yes. Slack reminders are standard Slack functionality - you can dismiss or snooze them like any other reminder.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Slack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Slack actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Set snooze duration
Deprecated: turns on do not disturb mode for the current user, or changes its duration. use `set dnd duration` instead.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Add a custom emoji to a Slack team
Deprecated: adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url. use `add emoji` instead.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Add an emoji alias
Adds an alias for an existing custom emoji in a slack enterprise grid organization.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Add call participants
Registers new participants added to a slack call.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Add emoji
Adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url; subject to workspace emoji limits.
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
