Follow through on Slack introductions
Remember to make the promised introduction, send the resource, or reconnect at the right time.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new task in DART with title and optional metadata. Use when you need to add a task to a workspace.
Why this helps
Relationship follow-ups can slip when they are remembered only as a DM you meant to revisit.
- Keep promised follow-ups visible alongside other work.
- Capture context while the introduction is fresh.
- Reduce the effort of checking old messages to remember your next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Dart to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create Dart tasks for explicit next steps agreed in Slack introduction DMs.
- 4Choose the DM trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one real introduction follow-up.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a task for every new introduction?
The instruction should specify that a task is for an explicit follow-up or promise, rather than the introduction itself.
Can the task keep enough context to act later?
Ask Notis to include the people or promised next step needed to understand the follow-up.
