Move from a customer observation to a data check without losing the thread of the discussion.
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
Execute ClickHouse Query
Execute a sql query in clickhouse and return the results. this is the primary action for querying data from clickhouse databases.
Why this helps
A promising customer insight can fade while someone manually finds the data needed to validate it.
- Helps teams validate an observation while it is fresh.
- Keeps the relevant finding near the discussion that raised it.
- Supports clearer decisions about customer behavior.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ClickHouse to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe the outcome to Notis in plain language.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to query ClickHouse when a channel message raises a measurable customer behavior pattern and summarize the relevant evidence and period.
- 4Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real customer-pattern question whose metric and timeframe are clear.
Questions about this workflow
Can it analyze any customer question?
It can query questions supported by the connected ClickHouse data. Ask it to surface uncertainty when the needed data is unavailable.
Can it identify individuals?
Keep the instruction focused on aggregate patterns unless there is a clear, authorized need for individual-level data.
