Bring the Slack discussion context into a scenario handoff
Get the recent channel context around a scenario before deciding what needs to happen next.
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
A scenario handoff can miss decisions already made in Slack when the channel history is not checked.
- Review recent discussion before responding.
- Keep handoffs grounded in channel context.
- Reduce duplicate questions about decisions already made.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chatfai and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for scenario context retrieval.
- 3Describe how to identify the relevant Slack conversation and the time window or pagination to review.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real scenario request with an identifiable channel and review the retrieved history.
Questions about this workflow
Can it read any Slack channel?
It can retrieve history only for conversations accessible to the connected Slack account or bot. Provide the channel reference or enough context to identify it.
Does this post anything in Slack?
No. Fetch conversation history is a read action. This package uses it to inform the workflow run.
