Why this helps
Audience questions often trigger a chain of manual steps before anyone can inspect the segment.
- Turn audience questions into a concrete analysis request.
- Reduce delays between discussion and cohort retrieval.
- Help keep segment investigation connected to its reason.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Amplitude to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to request a named Amplitude cohort when a Slack message asks to analyze that audience.
- 3Choose Slack Channel Message Received and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real audience question and confirm the cohort request starts in Amplitude.
Questions about this workflow
