Make a DM job list request easier to complete
A job list request can interrupt planned work. Notis can retrieve Ascora jobs from the DM so there is a straightforward 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
Get Jobs
Tool to retrieve jobs. use when you need to filter and paginate job listings from ascora.
Why this helps
Ad hoc list requests create small bursts of searching that make it harder to return to focused work.
- Reduces the steps needed to respond to a list request
- Keeps the lookup anchored to the original DM
- Helps make small interruptions easier to resolve
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ascora to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis conversationally what to create.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Ascora jobs when a Slack DM requests a current job list.
- 4Select Direct Message Received and a channel for run reports, then test with one real list request.
