Capture direct prospect handoffs in Bidsketch
When a prospect arrives in a Slack DM, give the handoff a client record without adding another manual step.

Why this helps
Direct introductions can be easy to lose among private messages and follow-ups.
- Capture a prospect shared privately in Slack.
- Give proposal work a clear record to start from.
- Reduce retyping details from an introduction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bidsketch in the Notis portal once.
- 2Create an automation in plain language to create a Bidsketch client for a clearly identified new prospect shared in a DM.
- 3Select Slack's Direct Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose where runs should be reported and test with one real prospect handoff.
Questions about this workflow
Does this catch every Slack DM?
The trigger observes all new DMs, so the prompt should act only on messages that clearly represent a new prospect handoff.
What if client details are incomplete?
Have Notis skip creating the client when the message does not provide enough information to identify the prospect.
