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

Tool to create a new Lead Finder search to discover leads based on company and people criteria. Use when you need to find prospects matching specific job titles, departments, seniority, company size, industry, or technology stack.
Why this helps
Customer discovery recruiting can stall when defining the audience and finding people become separate chores.
- Start a search using the audience criteria described in the channel.
- Keep recruiting connected to the question the team wants to investigate.
- Spend less time translating a Slack request into a separate search.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bettercontact to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to search for interview prospects when a channel message describes a target customer audience.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real discovery request and review the Bettercontact search.
