Capture team decisions from Slack in a document
When a channel reaches a decision, let Notis turn the discussion into a clear record your team can revisit.
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
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.
Why this helps
Decisions get buried in active channels, leaving people to reread threads or ask what was agreed.
- Preserve the agreed outcome and its context in a consistent document.
- Reduce repeated questions and time spent searching old threads.
- Keep a durable reference outside the fast-moving channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Docugenerate to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to recognize settled decisions in the chosen channel and generate a decision record from the relevant conversation.
- 4Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with a real decision thread and review the generated document.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for every channel message?
The Slack trigger fires for channel messages. Tell Notis in the automation prompt to act only when the conversation clearly settles a decision.
Can the record include the discussion that led to the decision?
Ask Notis to use the relevant surrounding Slack conversation so the generated record includes enough context to be useful.
