Keep important Beamer discussions close
Let Notis surface a matching Slack discussion and star it as a practical pointer for later follow-up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Teams often discuss product changes in Slack, then lose the thread among newer conversations.
- Keep a relevant discussion easy to find.
- Reduce time spent searching Slack history.
- Link product activity with the team's conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beamer and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: review recent Beamer activity, find the clearly matching Slack discussion, and star that message or channel item.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the intended item is starred.
Questions about this workflow
What if no matching Slack discussion exists?
Notis should report that it could not identify a suitable item rather than star an unrelated conversation.
What can Slack star?
The listed action can star a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message. The workflow instruction should specify the intended kind of item.
