Why this helps
Useful research links get buried in busy channels before anyone starts investigating them.
- Start research without leaving the Slack conversation.
- Keep investigation requests from getting lost in channel history.
- Use an existing Agenty agent for repeatable research.
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 for one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, say to start the specified Agenty agent when a Slack message asks for website research, using the shared site as its input.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger, choose where run reports should go, and test with one real research link.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new Agenty agent?
No. This workflow starts an existing agent. Create or identify the agent in Agenty before relying on the automation.
Can I use it for every link in Slack?
Describe the research request clearly in the instruction and select an appropriate Slack channel so unrelated links do not prompt a run.
