Find gratitude scripture from a direct message
When someone privately asks for a passage about gratitude, let Notis find relevant results so you can respond without opening another research task.
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
Search Verses
Tool to search for verses containing a specified query within a version.
Why this helps
Small personal requests often compete with urgent work and are easy to postpone unintentionally.
- Give a private request a focused follow-up.
- Find relevant results without interrupting the current task for manual research.
- Keep the response connected to the stated theme.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api bible to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation through the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In a single instruction, ask Notis to search Api bible for gratitude verses when a DM requests that topic.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real DM asking for a gratitude passage.
Questions about this workflow
Does this share results publicly in Slack?
The workflow searches from a DM trigger; choose the channel where Notis reports runs and state in the instruction how to handle the result.
Can it handle a different requested topic?
You can phrase the instruction to use the topic named in the DM, or keep it specifically scoped to gratitude.
