Bring documentation context into feature discussions
Make the reference behind a Slack feature request easier to scan and share.
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
Scrape webpage content using CSS selectors
A tool to extract structured content from a webpage by specifying css selectors. the tool navigates to the specified url, waits for the page to load (including parsing and executing javascript), and returns the selected elements in a structured json format.
Why this helps
Feature ideas can be hard to evaluate when their supporting documentation sits in a separate browser tab.
- Keep supporting documentation close to the feature discussion.
- Review relevant sections without scanning the entire page.
- Make it easier to resume product thinking after a context switch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Browserless to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to extract headings and relevant text from documentation URLs included in feature discussions in the chosen channel.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one feature discussion containing a public documentation link.
Questions about this workflow
Will it decide whether to build the feature?
No. It extracts page context; product prioritization remains a separate decision.
Can I limit it to certain discussions?
Describe the relevant feature discussion context in the prompt so Notis can identify the messages to process.
