Find the Trello card behind a blocker
A blocker is easier to act on when its work item is easy to locate. Let Notis search Trello from the Slack discussion.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
A blocker can stall while someone tries to remember which board or card holds the related work.
- Uses the blocker description as search context.
- Reduces memory-based searching across boards.
- Helps make the next follow-up more concrete.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api labz to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to detect messages asking to locate work behind a blocker and search Trello for relevant items.
- 3Pick Channel Message Received and select the channel where blocker requests appear, then choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one real blocker message and verify the returned card is related.
Questions about this workflow
Will this resolve the blocker?
No. It searches for related Trello work items so the person can decide the next step.
Does it work when a message is not a lookup request?
Describe the relevant blocker lookup intent in the prompt so unrelated discussion does not need a search.
