Bring Slack deal discussion into an Affinity review
Collect the replies from a specific deal thread when you need the team context alongside the Affinity record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Retrieve conversation replies
Retrieves replies to a specific parent message in a slack conversation, using the channel id and the parent message's timestamp (`ts`).
Why this helps
Deal decisions are harder to reconstruct when the relationship record and the team's Slack discussion are separate.
- Retrieve discussion replies from a specified Slack thread.
- Pair conversation context with a relevant Affinity deal review.
- Reduce manual scrolling through busy channels.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to review the named Affinity deal and retrieve replies from the supplied Slack channel and parent message timestamp.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one deal and a real Slack thread reference.
