Begin a permissions audit from the conversation

Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
Create Permissions Audit Report
Tool to generate a permissions audit report for specified date range and filters. Use when you need to create an audit report for permissions changes and retrieve a report ID for async retrieval.
Why this helps
A vague access concern can become a prolonged search for how to begin checking permissions changes.
- Make the first audit step easier to initiate.
- Use a consistent response pattern for access concerns.
- Keep the generated report ID available for the next follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Egnyte to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Specify what qualifies as an access concern and which date range and filters to use.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a sample concern and verify the audit request uses the intended criteria.
