Capture customer issues from Slack DMs
A customer detail sent directly to you can still become team follow-up. Let Notis turn the relevant Slack DM into a Docsbot ticket.
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
Generate Conversation Ticket
Tool to generate a structured support ticket from a chat agent conversation. use when you need to convert an existing conversation into a ready-to-submit helpdesk ticket.
Why this helps
Customer requests that arrive privately can stay in one person's inbox and be forgotten when attention shifts elsewhere.
- Bring customer issues out of an individual DM.
- Create a clear ticket for the next support step.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering private requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Docsbot ai to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to create a Docsbot ticket when a DM contains a customer issue.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real DM that describes a customer problem.
