Give promising ideas a small next step
Capture an idea from Slack as a testable experiment rather than another open-ended note.
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
Good ideas can create mental clutter when there is no clear next step or way to evaluate them.
- Turn a broad idea into a concrete test.
- Name a simple signal for learning.
- Keep the first step small and reviewable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Codeinterpreter to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and use one prompt to define the experiment brief format.
- 3Pick Channel Message Received for the idea-sharing channel and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one real message describing an idea.
Questions about this workflow

It can draft a test and a possible signal; you make the decision about whether to run it.
Can it use ideas from direct messages?
Choose a trigger that matches your source. This workflow uses channel messages, which do not include direct messages.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Upload File

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
