Turn a complete, intentional giving instruction into a Daffy gift without re-entering the details.
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
Get Balance
Tool to retrieve the authenticated user's fund balance. use after authenticating to confirm account funds.
Why this helps
Re-entering a confirmed gift request creates extra steps where a detail can be missed.
- Acts only on an explicit create-gift instruction
- Uses the recipient and amount stated in the request
- Reports the result back for an easy record
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Daffy to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction that permits gift creation only when a channel message explicitly requests it and states both recipient and amount; ask Notis to report missing details instead of guessing.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real, clearly worded gift request using an amount and recipient you intend to give to.
Questions about this workflow
Will a charity mention create a gift?
The prompt should require an explicit instruction to create a gift, a recipient, and an amount. A general mention should not be enough.
What happens if details are missing?
Notis should report that required details are missing and make no gift.
