  • Give a proposal content request a concrete next step.
  • Keep the requested section with the proposal it belongs to.
  • Reduce searching Slack when assembling proposal content.

  • 1Connect Slack and Bidsketch in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation and describe in plain language when a Slack message should add a new section to a matching proposal.
  • 3Select Slack's Channel Message Received trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports go and test with one real section request.
