Never Forget to Review: Auto-Create Reminders for New Slides
Adding a slide feels productive until three days pass and it's still unreviewed. Notis creates a Slack reminder right when you add the slide, giving you an external prompt to get feedback.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
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
New slides sit unreviewed because you create them and immediately move on—the task falls off your radar.
- External trigger prevents forgotten reviews
- Automatic timing—reminder shows up when the slide is fresh
- Reduces handoff friction between creator and reviewers
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Remind me to review new slides'.
- 3Write: 'When a new slide is added, create a reminder in Slack for me in 2 hours to review and share it with stakeholders.'
- 4Select 'New Slide Added' as your trigger and pick a Slack channel for logs.
- 5Add a test slide—you'll get a reminder notification in Slack after the delay you specified.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the reminder delay?
Yes. Use natural language in your prompt like 'in 1 hour', 'tomorrow at 9am', or 'in 30 minutes'—Notis will respect that timing.
What if I want reminders for specific presentations only?
Include the presentation name or criteria in your prompt, and Notis will only create reminders for matching slides.
Can I remove a reminder if I already reviewed?
Yes, dismiss it like any Slack reminder. Notis won't recreate it.
