Why this helps
A market watch request can disappear into a busy channel, leaving someone to set up monitoring later.
- Starts news monitoring from the conversation where the need came up.
- Reduces the chance that someone forgets to begin tracking a market topic.
- Keeps setup focused on a specific watch request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Benzinga to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language to start a Benzinga news stream when a Slack channel request names a market topic or ticker.
- 3Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test with a real Slack request for a ticker or market topic your team follows.
