Start vendor research from Slack
Give a vendor discussion a useful research starting point without adding another lookup to your to-do list.
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
Name to Domain Search
Tool to find company domain(s) by company name. use when you have a company name and need up to 3 likely domains.
Why this helps
Vendor options can linger in channel threads because finding the right company website becomes a separate task.
- Start vendor research where the team is already discussing options.
- Get likely domains to verify before any detailed lookup.
- Keep vendor review context close to the original mention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bigpicture io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt asking Notis to find likely Bigpicture io domains when a channel message names a vendor without a website, and report the candidates with the message context.
- 3Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with a real vendor discussion.
Questions about this workflow
Will this choose a vendor for us?
No. It finds likely company domains by name. The team reviews the results and makes the vendor decision.
Can I enrich the vendor profile after finding its domain?
Yes. Once the correct domain is confirmed, a separate Company Find workflow can retrieve a detailed profile.
