Trigger
Direct Message Received

Action

Why this helps
A direct question about system behavior can interrupt a founder who is trying to protect focused work time.
- Use repository documentation as the source of context.
- Give the asker a fast direction for their next step.
- Avoid routing every documentation question to one person.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Add one instruction asking Devin to use the specified repository wiki when a DM asks about documented behavior.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real DM question answered by the repository wiki.
