Make Slack DM replies easier to draft
Turn an incoming DM into a response draft you can review, edit, and send yourself.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Text Chat Completion
Tool to generate text completions or chat responses using a specified llm model. use after assembling the conversation history to produce the next response.
Why this helps
A growing pile of private messages makes it harder to switch context and compose each reply from scratch.
- Get a starting point for a thoughtful response.
- Reduce the blank-page effort of replying.
- Keep control of what you ultimately send.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ai ml api to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Give one instruction: when a Slack DM arrives, draft a concise, courteous reply that addresses the message and does not send it.
- 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test with a real, non-sensitive DM and review the generated draft.
Questions about this workflow
