Make direct data connection requests easier to finish
When a clear setup request arrives in a DM, Notis can create the BigML connector and report the outcome where you prefer.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Why this helps
A private request can feel handled once acknowledged, even when the actual connector still needs to be created in a separate tool.
- Turn an explicit DM setup request into a BigML connector.
- Reduce the need to remember a second tool step after replying.
- Make the run outcome available in your selected reporting channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and BigML to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create a BigML connector when a DM explicitly requests an external data connection.
- 3Select the direct message received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a real connection request DM and inspect the connector in BigML.
Questions about this workflow
Can the connector be fully configured from the DM?
The action creates an external connector. Use the plain-language prompt to convey the request; any source-specific setup may still need attention in BigML.
Will general DMs about data trigger it?
The prompt should limit action to direct messages that clearly request connector creation.
