Bring company research into direct messages

Turn a company link in a DM into a profile lookup that is easier to act on.

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

Company Find

Tool to lookup company data by domain name. use when you need detailed company profile by providing a website domain. use after confirming domain correctness.

Why this helps

Research requests sent privately can slip from view when the next step requires opening another tool.

  • Start a company lookup from a private request or introduction.
  • Return research with enough DM context to understand why it was requested.
  • Reduce manual switching between messages and company research.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Bigpicture io to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in plain language asking Notis to look up confirmed company domains shared in DMs and return the Bigpicture io profile with the DM context.
  • 3Pick the Slack Direct Message Received trigger.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with a real DM containing a confirmed domain.

Questions about this workflow

Does this trigger on Slack channel messages?

No. It uses the Direct Message Received trigger, which catches DMs across Slack DM channels.

What happens if the DM contains only a company name?

Company Find requires a domain. Use a name-to-domain search for a name without a confirmed website.
