Connect Slack to Composio
When something happens in Slack, Notis takes the next step in Composio. Describe what you want in plain English, or start from one of the examples below.

Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Composio
Turn Slack requests into Composio tool discovery
When a Slack channel message asks for a cross-app task, search Composio for the exact tools and prerequisites needed to carry it out.
Check app connections before a DM request stalls
When a direct message asks Notis to work across apps, check whether the required Composio connections are active and identify what is missing.
Create an execution plan from a channel request
Turn a complex Slack channel request into an ordered plan with steps, dependencies, and failure handling through Composio's planner.
Carry a multi-step DM request through Composio
When a Slack DM describes a multi-step task, use Composio's agent execution to reason across tool calls, handle conditions, and report progress.
Run an approved Composio action from a Slack reaction
Use a chosen reaction on a Slack message as the signal to execute a clearly described Composio tool action, reducing approval follow-up.
Prepare a Composio setup plan for each new channel
When a Slack channel is created, use a defined Composio tool action to prepare a lightweight workspace setup artifact or checklist relevant to that channel.
Carry a Slack decision into a Composio tool action
When a channel message records a clear decision and next step, run a specified Composio tool action to help complete the follow-through.
Start a defined unblock action when work is stuck
When a Slack channel message clearly identifies a blocker, use a specified Composio action to help move the issue to its next owner or system.
Capture a Slack message marked for follow-up
Use a dedicated reaction on a channel message to trigger a defined Composio action that stores or routes the item for later attention.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Composio. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Composio actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Ask Oracle
Static helper that returns a comprehensive system prompt describing how to plan and execute tasks using the available composio tools and workflows. no inputs required; simply call to retrieve the prompt. always call this after the search tool is executed -- it will provide the best context on how to proceed, chain tools, and execute the task end-to-end. relevant tools referenced by the prompt: 1. composio search tools 2. composio multi execute tool 3. composio execute code 4. composio manage connections 5. composio bash tool
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Check active connection (deprecated)
Deprecated: use check active connections instead for bulk operations. check active connection status for a toolkit or specific connected account id. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on the toolkit.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Check multiple active connections
Check active connection status for multiple toolkits or specific connected account ids. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on toolkits.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Create Plan
This is a workflow builder that ensures the LLM produces a complete, step-by-step plan for any use case. WHEN TO CALL: - Call this tool based on COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS output. If search tools response indicates create_plan should be called and the usecase is not easy, call it. - Use this tool after COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS or COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to generate an execution plan for the user's use case. - USE for medium or hard tasks — skip it for easy ones. - If the user switches to a new use case in the same chat and COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS again instructs you to call the planner, you MUST call this tool again for that new use case. Memory Integration: - You can choose to add the memory received from the search tool into the known_fields parameter of the plan function to enhance planning with discovered relationships and information. Outputs a complete plan with sections such as "workflow_steps", "complexity_assessment", "decision_matrix", "failure_handling" "output_format", and more as needed. If you skip this step for non-easy tasks, workflows will likely be incomplete, or fail during execution for complex tasks. Calling it guarantees reliable, accurate, and end-to-end workflows aligned with the available tools and connections.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Enable trigger
Enable a specific trigger for the authenticated user.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Execute agent
Execute complex workflows using ai agent reasoning between multiple tool calls. use this for: complex multi-step workflows requiring reasoning, error handling and retry logic. use composio multi execute tool instead for: simple parallel operations, batch operations on similar data (e.g., fetch 5 emails, get 10 sent messages, retrieve multiple user profiles), independent tool calls that don't need each other's results, or bulk operations where all parameters are known upfront. performance: agent calls add ~2-3 seconds overhead. use for workflows >3 tools or requiring conditional logic. avoid for simple parameter passing.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Execute Composio Tool
Execute a tool using the composio api.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Get Tool Dependency Graph
Get the dependency graph for a given tool, showing related parent tools that might be useful. this action calls the composio labs dependency graph api to retrieve tools that are commonly used together with or before the specified tool. this helps discover related tools and understand common workflows.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
Notis built this automation:
Watch every run.
Notis Desktop is Mission Control for your AI automations. See every run, replay, edit, or rewind. Set approval gates so Notis pauses before destructive actions.
- Full run history with inputs, outputs and traces
- Replay any run with edited inputs
- Approval inbox, confirm via chat in one tap
- Audit logs for compliance teams

Whatever starts the workflow, the platform underneath is the same: a thinking brain, full visibility, and you in control.
AI in the middle
Every step can include an LLM call: summarise, classify, extract, rewrite.
Full observability
Every run, every step, every input, all replay-able from Mission Control.
Human in the loop
Pause for approval. Notis pings you in chat with one-tap approve.
Self-healing
When an API changes shape, Notis adapts the parser. Less midnight fire-fighting.
