Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who to find?
It extracts the role, name, or function from the Discord message. Your prompt guides the interpretation: 'if they ask for a manager, find anyone with manager in their title'.
What info is posted about the user?
Name, title, email, and status. Your prompt can customize what's included.
What if the person doesn't exist in Slack?
Notis can notify the team in your prompt: 'let them know we don't have a Discord Slack user with that title'.
