Help blockers get noticed sooner
When a teammate names something blocking progress in Slack, Notis can surface it in the Discord space where help is available.
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
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
People often keep working around a blocker because it is buried in a busy conversation.
- Bring blocked work into view for collaborators.
- Make it easier to ask for the right support.
- Reduce the need to re-explain the situation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Discordbot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the desired outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to post a concise summary in a selected Discord channel when a Slack message describes a genuine project blocker.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real blocker and make sure the post says what help is needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can it avoid reposting ordinary status updates?
Explain in the instruction what makes a message a blocker, such as work being unable to progress without help.
What should the Discord post include?
Ask Notis to retain the blocked work and the help needed, when those details are present.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Discordbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Discordbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add recipient to group channel
Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
