Why this helps
When a progress question appears in the middle of other work, finding the right impact measure can become another open loop.
- Retrieve the Ecologi habitat area when a team member asks.
- Keep the requested progress figure attached to a Slack-triggered run.
- Reduce manual searching during updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ecologi to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve the user's Ecologi habitat restoration area when a Slack channel message requests habitat progress.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a channel message asking for the restored habitat area.
