Why this helps
Looking up an author can stall a handoff when names or responsibilities are not top of mind.
- Makes author names easier to find during handoffs.
- Reduces time spent navigating the CMS for directory information.
- Keeps ownership discussions moving in Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Agility CMS to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to retrieve Agility CMS authors when a Slack channel message asks for the author directory, then share the names.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and select the channel for run reports.
- 5Test by asking in Slack for the CMS author list.
Questions about this workflow
Can it assign an author to an item?
No. Get Authors retrieves the author list; it does not change content assignments.
Can it return the full list?
Yes. The action retrieves all authors, and the prompt can request the full list or relevant names.
