Why this helps
Useful giving ideas in private messages can disappear before anyone researches them.

- Keeps the search connected to the original DM
- Leaves donation decisions in the user's hands
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create a new automation in the portal or describe it to Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to search Daffy for nonprofits matching a cause clearly requested in a DM and report the results.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM that asks for nonprofits related to a specific cause.
Questions about this workflow
Does every DM need to be a search request?
