Keep grant submission follow-up from slipping
After the work of submitting a grant, make any required written confirmation easier to finish.
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
Send Letter
Tool to send a letter via u.s. mail with specified recipient, sender, and pdf. use after confirming recipient and document details. example: send letter(to name='john doe', to address='123 main st, ...', file url='https://...')
Why this helps
Grant deadlines create concentrated admin work, and submission follow-up can be forgotten once the application is away.
- Tie correspondence to a clear submission milestone.
- Keep post-submission details out of working memory.
- Check the final document and recipient before mailing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Docupost to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to prepare a letter only after a grant submission is confirmed and to verify recipient and PDF details.
- 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received, select the run-report channel, and test with one real submission update.
Questions about this workflow
Can this mail an application itself?
Use the workflow for the intended confirmation correspondence and confirm that the correct final PDF is available before sending.
What if the submission update is only a draft?
Make a completed submission the required cue in the plain-language instruction.
