Turn HubSpot leads into timely Slack reminders. Notis creates automatic follow-up reminders so prospects don't get lost in the shuffle.

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
ADHD and executive function challenges make it easy to forget follow-ups even when you intend to do them. Email and task lists easily become inboxes of overwhelm.
- Get automatic Slack reminders for every new contact without manual setup
- Remove the cognitive load of remembering to follow up
- Reduce dropped leads caused by context-switching
- Build trust with prospects through consistent, timely outreach
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect HubSpot and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Contact Follow-Up Reminder' with this prompt: 'When a new contact is created in HubSpot, create a Slack reminder for me to follow up in 2 days with a message like: Remember to reach out to [contact name] from [company].'
- 3Select 'Contact Created' as your trigger and pick a channel for notifications.
- 4Test by creating a contact and verifying the reminder appears on your Slack calendar.
Questions about this workflow
How do I change the reminder timing?
Edit your automation prompt to specify a different delay, like 'remind me in 4 hours' or 'remind me tomorrow at 9am'.
Can reminders be customized based on the contact's source?
Yes. You can edit the prompt to vary timing or message based on how the contact arrived (e.g., 'remind me in 1 hour for web leads, 24 hours for referrals').
Will reminders interrupt me if I'm in focus mode?
Notis respects your Slack status. Reminders still arrive but won't ping you while you're marked as 'Do Not Disturb'.
