Switch into a conversation with less friction
Get the essential context and likely next move before spending time reconstructing the conversation 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
Create Message
Tool to create a new message completion. use when you need to generate assistant text given a conversation history.
Why this helps
Each new DM can pull attention away while requiring a fresh context switch and interpretation.
- Compresses the ask and relevant details into a few lines.
- Separates explicit facts from suggested next actions.
- Makes it easier to resume the prior task afterward.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anthropic administrator once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction asking for a brief context reset from each new DM: request, key details, and one suggested next move, with assumptions labeled.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received, select a run-report channel, and test on one real incoming DM.
Questions about this workflow
Does this replace reading the full conversation?
It provides a first-pass summary; review the conversation when nuance or missing context matters.
Will it take action on the suggested next move?
