Turn a Slack research follow-up into an Agenty run
Move a concrete follow-up from the channel into the next research run without relying on someone to remember it later.
Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action

Why this helps
Research follow-ups often disappear under newer messages, even when the next step is obvious.
- Turn a concrete research follow-up into a started job.
- Keep the next pass tied to its Slack action item.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering to launch it later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Agenty to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, say to start the relevant existing Agenty agent when a Slack action item explicitly requests a follow-up research run.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger, choose a channel for reports, and test with one real follow-up request.
Questions about this workflow
Will a casual mention start the agent?
Your instruction should require an explicit follow-up request and identify the relevant agent to keep the trigger intentional.
Can I add a reaction-based approval?
This workflow uses the channel-message event. A separate workflow can use Slack's reaction-added event as an approval signal.
