Capture Slack requests in Appdrag automatically
Keep incoming requests from disappearing in busy Slack channels by having Notis send them to your Appdrag intake function.
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
Execute Cloud Backend function via POST
Tool to execute a Cloud Backend API function via POST on the default environment. Use when you need to call a function with POST parameters and optional APIKey.
Why this helps
Requests scattered through channel conversations are easy to miss or postpone.
- Collect requests where they arrive without interrupting focused work.
- Keep a searchable intake record in Appdrag.
- Reduce the need to reread channel history.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Appdrag to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, say which channel requests to recognize and that Notis should create an Appdrag intake record.
- 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm it reaches the Appdrag function.
