Make voice memos in Slack DMs readable
Turn an eligible voice memo into text so you can review the idea at your pace and return to it without replaying the audio.
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
Transcribe Pre-recorded Audio
Tool to transcribe pre-recorded audio files into text. use when you need to convert an audio file at a url to text after confirming the file url is publicly accessible.
Why this helps
Listening to every short memo can interrupt focused work and make quick ideas harder to revisit.
- Reread spoken thoughts when audio is inconvenient.
- Keep quick ideas available as text alongside the DM.
- Reduce the effort of revisiting a voice message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Deepgram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what to do conversationally.
- 3Give one instruction to transcribe publicly accessible voice memo URLs sent in Slack DMs using Deepgram.
- 4Select the direct message received trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real DM containing an accessible memo URL.
Questions about this workflow
Can it transcribe Slack's native voice messages?
This action is for a pre-recorded audio URL that Deepgram can access. A native message must be available through an accessible URL.
Do I need to map the DM text or URL?
No field mapping is needed. Describe the intended behavior in one plain-language instruction.
