Turn Slack blocker messages into a clear next step
Catch a blocker where it appears and prompt a teammate to say what would help them move forward.
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
Send Message
This tool allows sending a message through dailybot to either specific users or channels/rooms. the message can include markdown formatting.
Why this helps
A blocker can disappear in a busy channel before anyone asks what the person needs.
- Prompts the author to make the blocker actionable
- Keeps the follow-up close to the team's check-in routine
- Reduces the chance that a stuck task goes unnoticed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Dailybot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe in plain language that blocker messages in the chosen Slack channel should prompt their author in Dailybot to share the next step or help needed.
- 3Pick the Slack channel message trigger, choose where Notis reports runs, and test with one real blocker message.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Dailybot task?
No. The available Dailybot action sends a message, so the automation can prompt a teammate to clarify a blocker but does not create a task.
Can I limit this to one Slack channel?
Choose the relevant Slack channel trigger when setting up the automation and describe the blocker context in its plain-language instruction.
