- 1Connect Slack and Chatfai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis in plain language to retrieve a character when a channel message requests a creative prompt.
- 3Have the prompt use the public character ID in the request and return its details.
- 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one real creative-block message.
