Bring Slack Conversation Context Into Algolia Reviews
Give an Algolia investigation the conversation that explains what users or teammates noticed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering.
Why this helps
Search investigations lose time when the report and the discussion explaining it are in different places.
- Bring the related conversation into the investigation workflow.
- Retain user or teammate observations alongside search evidence.
- Reduce time spent switching between a search concern and its discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the supplied Algolia search concern, fetch the relevant Slack conversation history for the provided channel and time range, and summarize the context with the search findings.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real search concern and a Slack channel and time range the connected account can access.
Questions about this workflow
What Slack details should the request include?
Provide the channel and, where possible, the time range or relevant message context so Notis can retrieve the right conversation history.
Can this read any Slack channel?
It can retrieve history only for conversations accessible to the connected Slack account or bot.
Does this workflow post to Slack?
No. It fetches conversation history for the review and sends the run report to the report destination selected during setup.
