Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Docupilot
Give each new project channel a Docupilot folder
When a new Slack channel is created, create a matching Docupilot folder so project documents have an obvious home from day one.
Create a Docupilot folder from a channel request
Turn a clear Slack channel request for a document workspace into a Docupilot folder, with Notis following the naming details in the message.
Set up a project folder from a Slack DM
When a direct message asks for a Docupilot project folder, have Notis create it using the request details and confirm the result.
Create a folder when a request gets an approval reaction
Use an agreed Slack reaction on a folder-request message as the team's signal to create the corresponding Docupilot folder.
Prepare a Docupilot folder after a workspace approval
When a Slack message confirming a new workspace is approved receives the agreed reaction, create its Docupilot folder.
Answer a Slack request with the Docupilot folder list
When someone asks in a channel which Docupilot folders are available, have Notis retrieve the folder list and report it back.
Look up Docupilot folders from a direct message
Ask Notis privately for the available Docupilot folders and have it retrieve the list for a focused, low-friction lookup.
Fetch the folder list when a Slack request is marked
Use an agreed reaction to mark a Slack message asking for the Docupilot folder inventory, then have Notis retrieve the list.
Get a weekly Docupilot folder overview
On a recurring schedule, have Notis list Docupilot folders and send the current overview to your chosen run-report channel.

Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
