Keep vendor decisions grounded in the discussion
Pull the stated options and criteria into a brief that is easier to assess later.
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
Create PDF Asynchronously
Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.
Why this helps
Comparisons sprawl across messages, making criteria and open questions hard to track.
- Keep options and criteria together.
- Make open questions visible before deciding.
- Reduce the need to reconstruct a long comparison thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Craftmypdf to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to generate a vendor comparison brief only from messages explicitly requesting a comparison, including stated criteria and open questions.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real comparison thread and verify that no unmentioned vendor claims appear.
Questions about this workflow
Will it research vendors automatically?
No. It uses the Slack discussion context and the PDF generation action; it does not independently verify vendor claims.
Can it recommend a winner?
Ask it to report the team's stated criteria and differences without making a recommendation unless you explicitly want one.
