Give direct design requests a clear next step
A personal request can be easy to miss between other messages. Let Notis retrieve Abyssale designs when someone asks for a template, so the request can move forward with less back-and-forth.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action

Why this helps
Direct requests can linger when finding a suitable starting point requires a separate search and reply.
- Responds to template requests with a catalog lookup
- Helps prevent DMs from becoming forgotten tasks
- Makes existing design options easier to discover
