Find reusable content for a new brief
Start a brief with a quick look at the pages, guides, and entries your team already has.
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
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.
Why this helps
Starting a draft without checking the CMS can create duplicate work and increase planning overhead.
- Bring existing material into early content planning.
- Reduce duplicate drafting effort.
- Give the brief owner a stronger research starting point.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Contentful graphql to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to query Contentful for material related to a content brief posted in a Slack channel.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real brief for a topic with existing CMS content.
Questions about this workflow
Does this draft the brief?
No. The action searches Contentful data; a person can use the results while preparing the brief.
What should a brief include?
A topic, audience, or page goal helps identify related CMS material.
