Start Discord DM channels for manager handoffs
Put urgent handoff context in a direct conversation immediately.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Initiate user channel with recipient
Creates a new direct message (dm) channel or retrieves an existing one, using `recipient id` for a 1-on-1 dm or `access tokens` for a group dm; this action only establishes or fetches the channel and does not send messages.
Why this helps
Sensitive handoffs get delayed while managers search for the right private channel.
- Speed up private coordination
- Reduce channel noise
- Keep handoffs focused
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Discordbot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation describing which handoffs require a direct message channel.
- 3Tell Notis to initiate or retrieve the approved recipient's Discord DM channel and include the handoff summary in the report.
- 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger for the 7shifts update.
- 5Choose a Discord report channel and test with one real handoff.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the message itself?
This action establishes or retrieves the DM channel. Ask for a separate message action if a message must be posted.
What if the recipient is unclear?
Ask Notis to stop and report the missing identity.

Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
