Follow through on meeting requests in Slack DMs
When someone asks for a meeting in a DM, Notis can help carry that request into Calendarhero so it is less likely to disappear between conversations.
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 Meeting Request V2
Tool to create a new meeting request in calendarhero. use when scheduling a meeting with participants, time range, and additional details.
Why this helps
DM requests feel immediate, but switching away to schedule them can break focus and lead to forgotten follow-up.
- Capture direct meeting requests in the flow of conversation.
- Reduce context switching between Slack and scheduling.
- Keep the original request available as meeting context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Calendarhero to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally, using one plain-language instruction for explicit DM meeting requests.
- 3Choose the Slack Direct Message Received trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test with a real DM that contains a clear request and usable scheduling details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this cover channel messages too?
No. This workflow listens for direct messages. Use a separate channel-message workflow for requests posted in channels.
Does it schedule without clear details?
The instruction should tell Notis to proceed only when participants, timing, and purpose are clear enough, and otherwise request clarification.
