Find the Trello context behind a client request
A client request can trigger a search for the work already underway, making it easier to continue without rebuilding context.
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
Responding to a client can take longer when related work is spread across Trello boards and hard to recall.
- Finds likely existing work using the client's request context.
- Reduces manual searching before a response or next step.
- Makes ongoing work easier to reconnect to the conversation.
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 search Trello when a channel message asks for existing work related to a client request.
- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 4Test with one real client-work lookup and review the returned boards, lists, or cards.
Questions about this workflow
Will this message the client?
No. It searches Trello and reports results; it does not send client communications.
What if several cards look relevant?
Have Notis return the likely matches with enough context for a person to choose the right item.
