Give new project requests room to take shape
When a direct message contains a clear new project request, Notis can create a Discord space to gather the people and next steps around it.
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
Create new thread in channel
Creates a new thread in a text or announcement discord channel; requires a 'name' and optionally other details (e.g., 'auto archive duration', an initial 'message') in the request body.
Why this helps
A serious request can start as a single DM and then sprawl across unrelated conversations as others get involved.
- Give substantial work a dedicated coordination space.
- Make the request easier to discuss with collaborators.
- Reduce repeated setup when a project begins.
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 ask Notis conversationally for this outcome.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a suitably named Discord channel when a Slack DM contains a substantial, clear new project request.
- 4Choose the Slack DM trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real example and check that the channel name and purpose are recognizable.
Questions about this workflow
Should every DM get a new channel?
Describe what makes a request substantial enough to deserve its own project space.
Does the workflow invite team members?
This action creates the channel. Adding people would require a separate Discord action and suitable member information.

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.
