Bring proposal thread context to the team
Give proposal owners the full internal conversation before they reply.
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
Answers get delayed when context is spread across a proposal and a Slack thread.
- Faster answers
- Fewer repeated questions
- Complete internal context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Proposals and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Proposal question context.
- 3Tell Notis to locate the related Slack parent message and retrieve its replies.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger for incoming proposal questions.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one question.
Questions about this workflow
What if the thread cannot be found?
