Bring documented process answers into Slack
When someone asks how a repository process works, consult its wiki and make the relevant context easier to act on.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Read wiki contents
View documentation about a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
Process questions interrupt focused work when the documentation is difficult to find or remember.
- Use existing repository documentation as a reference point.
- Reduce interruptions caused by repeated process questions.
- Help the asker find the next useful detail to read.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Devin to consult the relevant repository wiki for process questions in channel messages.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real process question answered in the repository wiki.
Questions about this workflow
Can it answer when the wiki has no relevant content?
Devin can only return context available in the wiki; the workflow cannot guarantee a documented answer.
Which wiki is used?
The repository must be clear in the message or plain-language instruction.
