Give direct message research requests a follow-through step
When someone sends a page and question in a Slack DM, make the next step a focused query.
Trigger

Action
Query Data
Tool to query structured data as json from a web page using an agentql query or natural language prompt. use after defining your query or prompt and a url or html.
Why this helps
One-to-one requests can disappear from view once a busy day moves on to the next task.
- Captures a request wherever a Slack DM arrives.
- Uses the sender's question to set the page-query scope.
- Helps prevent a promised lookup from slipping through.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and AgentQL to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis conversationally what you need.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to query URLs in Slack DMs for the public details requested.
- 4Select Direct Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM containing a page link and question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this include every Slack DM?
The Direct Message Received trigger catches DMs across DM channels. Write the instruction to act on messages that include the page and research request.
Can it query a page without a URL?
No. Provide a page URL or HTML for the Query Data action.
