Handle complete collection requests from Slack DMs
A complete private collection request can be turned into a Detrack entry without manually re-entering it in another tool.
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
Add Collection
Tool to add a new collection in detrack. use after gathering all necessary collection details.
Why this helps
A collection request sent directly to you can become an invisible task in a crowded personal inbox.
- Move a complete private request into the delivery system.
- Reduce the chance a collection waits in a DM for manual entry.
- Keep a record of the automation run for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Detrack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to add a Detrack collection when a Slack DM explicitly requests one with all required details.
- 3Select the Slack Direct Message Received trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real complete collection request, then confirm the collection in Detrack.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a collection from an incomplete request?
Set the instruction to add a collection only when all necessary details are present and otherwise report what is missing.
Does this work for a request that only asks for information?
No. The prompt should require an explicit request to add a collection.
