Send a quick Slack DM and get the weekly ranking without tracking down the poll yourself.
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
Rankings Polls
Tool to retrieve weekly human/computer poll rankings. Use after specifying season year and optional week.
Why this helps
A small rankings question can turn into a multi-step search that pulls attention away from the workday.
- Answer rankings questions privately in Slack.
- Use the requested season and week to narrow the lookup.
- Avoid repeated searches for the same poll position.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and College football data to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis conversationally to create the automation, or open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to look up weekly poll rankings for the team, season, and week mentioned in the DM and reply privately.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by sending a real DM with a team and poll week.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ask about an earlier week?
Yes. Include the season and week in your DM to request the historical poll entry.
Will the result be posted in a public channel?
The requested answer is a DM reply. The channel selected during setup is where Notis reports automation runs.
