Notis

Move qualified Slack opportunities into the Apollo pipeline

When your team confirms an opportunity is real, Notis can create its Apollo deal from the Slack update.

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

Create Apollo deal

Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in apollo.io; all provided ids (`owner id`, `account id`, `opportunity stage id`) must be valid existing apollo identifiers.

Why this helps

Qualified opportunities can remain informal Slack chatter instead of getting recorded in the sales pipeline.

  • Record qualified opportunities while the decision is current.
  • Reduce repeated hand entry between Slack and Apollo.
  • Give pipeline reviews a more complete starting point.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Apollo to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Tell Notis in plain language to create an Apollo deal when a Slack channel message clearly confirms a qualified opportunity.
  • 4Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one message containing a genuine opportunity and its known account context.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a deal for every opportunity mention?

No. The prompt can ask Notis to act only when the message confirms the opportunity is qualified. Deal creation requires valid Apollo identifiers where applicable.

Can the automation decide a deal stage?

Notis can be instructed to use an available, valid Apollo stage when it has enough context. Start with a test and review the created deal.
