Why this helps
Opening another app to check for one expected message interrupts the task already in progress.
- Checks the inbox in response to a direct request.
- Reports relevant messages with useful identifying details.
- Reduces small but frequent context switches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Agent mail to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Ask Notis to list recent relevant Agent mail messages when a DM asks whether a specific expected email arrived, using only the sender or subject details provided.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with one DM about an expected email.
Questions about this workflow
Does it check all mail?
The instruction should limit the search to the stated sender, subject, or other details in the DM.
Will it reply to the sender?
No. It reports inbox results through the automation's configured channel.
