Update an Agenty agent from a Slack decision

Carry an agreed change from the team's Slack discussion into the relevant agent configuration.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Update Agent by ID

Tool to update an agent's configuration and settings by agent id. use when you need to modify an existing agent after retrieving its current settings. example: "update agent 123 with new name and tags."

Why this helps

A decision to adjust an agent can be forgotten after the conversation moves on.

  • Turn a confirmed configuration decision into an update.
  • Reduce follow-up work after a team discussion.
  • Keep existing agents aligned with current research needs.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Agenty to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the specified existing Agenty agent only when Slack clearly states an agreed configuration change.
  • 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real confirmed change.

Questions about this workflow

Should a suggestion trigger an update?

No. Specify that the instruction should act only on an explicit, confirmed change to reduce accidental edits.

Can I update the agent's input too?

Use the dedicated input-update action when the requested change is to its input source. This workflow is for agent configuration.
