Custom records trigger automatic follow-up reminders
When a custom Salesforce record changes in a specific way, Notis automatically creates a Slack reminder to follow up—no manual trigger setup required.
Trigger
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
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 often use custom objects for domain-specific workflows (e.g., projects, contracts, campaigns). Forgetting to follow up on these is a major pain point.
- Automate reminders for any Salesforce object, not just standard ones
- Catch changes in custom fields that matter to your business
- Never miss follow-ups on specialized records
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce to Notis
- 2Tell Notis: 'When the status field on Project records changes to "in progress", create a Slack reminder for me'
- 3Notis monitors for that specific change and creates reminders. Test with a real record update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for any custom object?
Yes—Notis can monitor any Salesforce SObject and field combination you specify.
What if I need different reminder times for different field values?
Tell Notis the logic—e.g., 'if status is urgent, remind me in 1 hour; if normal, remind me tomorrow.'
