Create an Agenty competitor list from Slack

Trigger

Action

Tool to create a new list. use after preparing the list name and optional description. example: "create a list named 'contacts' with description 'potential leads'."
Why this helps
Small setup tasks are easy to postpone, leaving research requests without a place to collect results.
- Give a research request a dedicated place to collect results.
- Reduce handoffs between discussion and workspace setup.
- Keep list creation tied to the team context that prompted it.
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 conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction saying to create an Agenty list when a Slack request clearly asks for a new competitor research list, using the request's context to describe it.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a run-report channel, then test with a real list request.
Questions about this workflow
Will it add competitor data to the list?
This action creates the list. Use a separate workflow or Agenty process to populate it with research data.
What if a message only mentions competitors?
Phrase the instruction to act on explicit requests to create a new list, rather than general discussion.
