Use when you need to generate chat completions using the Anthropic Messages API format. Requires base_url='https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic' or metadata base_url ending with '/anthropic'. Supports extended thinking, function calling with tools, and streaming responses. Note: Images and documents are not supported in content blocks.
Why this helps
Vague requests can lead to guesswork, long reply threads, or work that needs to be redone.
- Highlight ambiguity before you commit to a task.
- Ask focused questions instead of sending a long back-and-forth.
- Keep uncertain details visible rather than filling gaps with guesses.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and DeepSeek once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from a channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify missing information and draft no more than three concise clarifying questions.
- 4Choose Agent mail's New Email Received trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that has an ambiguous request.
Questions about this workflow
Will it decide what the sender meant?
The instruction should ask it to identify ambiguity and ask questions, rather than assume unstated intent.
Can I set a limit on the questions?
Yes. Include a limit, such as no more than three questions, in your instruction.
