Resolve task lookups without leaving the DM
A DM can carry enough context to find a task. Have Notis search Trello and return likely matches for the next step.
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
Trello AI Search Engine
Tool to search trello boards, lists, and cards using ai-driven queries. use when you need to quickly locate relevant trello cards, lists, or boards.
Why this helps
Task retrieval can interrupt a focused conversation with a search across multiple boards.
- Starts the search from the requester's own description.
- Cuts down on manual board-by-board browsing.
- Keeps the lookup connected to the DM that needs the answer.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api labz to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis in plain language to search Trello when a DM requests a task lookup and return relevant boards, lists, or cards.
- 3Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger and set the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real DM that describes a task and check the returned matches.
Questions about this workflow
Does the search guarantee an exact card match?
No. Review the returned results to confirm which card is relevant.
Can the DM lookup create a task?
The supplied Api labz action searches Trello; it does not create cards.
