Prepare Slack context for Braintrust experiment reviews
Start an experiment review with the team discussion already gathered, instead of searching Slack while everyone waits.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Experiment decisions, caveats, and follow-ups often live across Slack conversations, making it hard to reconstruct context at review time.
- Gather relevant discussion before a recurring experiment review.
- Reduce the time spent searching conversations for decisions and open questions.
- Keep the review grounded in Slack history and experiment context you supply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Braintrust and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear review name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the experiment identifiers or notes you provide to retrieve relevant Slack conversation history and prepare a concise review summary.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger, set the review schedule, and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real experiment and a relevant Slack conversation, then check the summary for missing context.
Questions about this workflow
Can this automatically discover every Braintrust experiment?
No Braintrust trigger or experiment-list action is provided here. Supply the experiment identifier or context that should guide the scheduled review.
What does the Slack action return?
It retrieves chronological message and event history for a specified conversation, with pagination and time-range options. Notis can summarize the returned material.
Can the workflow tell which messages are about an experiment?
It can use experiment names, identifiers, channels, or other context you provide. If that context is missing or ambiguous, it may not find the right conversation.
