Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Contentful graphql
Find Contentful content from a Slack request
When a channel message asks for existing site content, query Contentful and report relevant results in the run channel.
Look up content marked ready in Slack
When a teammate reacts to a Slack message to signal readiness, run a persisted Contentful query for the related content and report the result.
Check Contentful for requested content
When a channel message requests a missing or hard-to-find page, query Contentful for related entries and return results for a human to review.
Check Contentful after a direct content question
When a direct message asks about a content item, query Contentful for the relevant entry and report findings through the automation.
Pull Contentful context for a review thread
When a Slack channel message starts a content review discussion, query the relevant Contentful data with a persisted query and report the context.
Find the content behind a Slack decision
When a channel message records a decision about a page or content topic, query Contentful for the relevant entry to support later follow-through.
Check an entry when review is requested
When a reviewer adds the team's review reaction to a Slack message, query Contentful for the referenced content and report the results.
Check campaign content readiness
When Slack discusses campaign readiness, query Contentful for the related campaign content and report the current data for a human check.
Support a content handoff with CMS context
When a Slack message hands off content work, query Contentful for the referenced entry so the next owner can start with relevant context.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Contentful graphql. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Contentful graphql actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get CMA Token
Tool to retrieve a Contentful Management API (CMA) access token. Use when making CMA calls to ensure valid authorization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Message Reaction Added
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.
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.

- 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
