Find Datascope Form Answers from a Slack Message

Ask in Slack when you need recent field data. Notis retrieves the matching Datascope answers so you can review them without switching tools to search manually.

Action

Get All Answers V2

Tool to retrieve last answers from Datascope forms (limit 200 per request). Use when you need to fetch form submissions with optional filtering by form, user, date range, or location. Supports pagination via offset parameter for retrieving additional batches.

Why this helps

Finding form submissions interrupts focused work and makes small information requests easy to lose in chat.

  • Retrieve answers in response to a clear Slack request.
  • Reduce tool switching when checking submitted data.
  • Get a concise result through the automation run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Datascope to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal and give it a clear name.
  • 3Use one plain-language prompt asking Notis to retrieve answers relevant to the Slack request and summarize them.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger, a run-report channel, then test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a new Datascope form response?

No. It retrieves existing answers from Datascope and reports relevant results.

Can I ask for answers from a particular form or date range?

Include the form or date range in the Slack request and prompt Notis to use those details when retrieving answers.
