  • Keep the requested geography connected to the Slack conversation.
  • Reduce manual search steps when gathering initial context.

  • 1Connect Slack and Ambee to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve Ambee's latest natural disaster data when a Slack message names a continent.
  • 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a real message naming a continent.
