Keep Slack requests from getting lost
Convert channel conversations into a focused action list you can review without rereading every thread.
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 Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
Requests get buried in active channels, leaving founders to remember who needs what and when.
- Find commitments in busy channel conversations.
- Group next steps into a readable list.
- Reduce repeated scanning and mental tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Codeinterpreter to Notis once.
- 2In the portal, create an automation and describe the action list you want in one plain-language prompt.
- 3Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 4Test it with a real channel message containing a request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it find tasks inside normal conversation?
Yes. Tell Notis in the prompt to identify explicit requests and commitments, then test with a representative channel message.
Does it assign owners automatically?
It can include names or owners stated in the message. Avoid asking it to infer ownership when nobody is named.
