- Maintains sync-token context across calls where needed.
- Keeps the inventory request and progress visible in Slack.

- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to define it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the requested Agility CMS content items using paged sync, maintain sync-token context for continuation, and report scope and progress in Slack.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a bounded inventory request and confirm the returned scope before expanding it.
