- Keep the notification's purpose close to the request.
- Reduce manual reminders to revisit setup.

- 1Connect Slack and Basin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation instructing Notis to create a Basin notification only when the request identifies the form and confirmed destination.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real request that includes a specific form and callback destination.
