Get a useful folder reference right where someone asks, without pausing to search elsewhere.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
List folders
Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve all folder IDs and their hierarchy. Must be called after obtaining an API key.
Why this helps
Folder questions interrupt focus and often require searching multiple places for the current answer.
- Keeps the answer close to the original question.
- Provides the current hierarchy instead of relying on memory.
- Helps teammates route follow-up work with less interruption.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and AlgoDocs to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to set one up.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to retrieve and share the AlgoDocs folder hierarchy when someone asks about folders in Slack.
- 4Choose the channel message received trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by posting a real folder-location question in a Slack channel.
