Why this helps
A decision made in chat can become separated from the document it affects.
- Keep decisions close to the file they affect.
- Make context visible to people reviewing the document.
- Reduce the need to search chat history for the rationale.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to add the supplied decision and context as a comment on the specified Drive file.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real decision and confirm the comment is on the intended file.
