Why this helps
A simple question about a form can turn into a distracting search across dashboards and old messages.

- Reduce interruptions caused by manual dashboard searches.
- Keep the lookup tied to the original question.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Byteforms once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to retrieve details when a Slack message clearly asks about a specific Byteforms form.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test using a message that identifies an existing form unambiguously.
