Keep Slack follow-ups connected to their history
A new follow-up is easier to handle when its related records are already within reach.
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
Query Index
Tool to query an elasticsearch index with various filters, time ranges, and pagination support. use when you need to search for documents in an index with complex filtering criteria.
Why this helps
Follow-ups get dropped when the owner must remember both the commitment and where its context lives.
- Make prior context available when follow-up work appears.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering where details are stored.
- Help people resume work with fewer investigative steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Elasticsearch to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis for a follow-up context search.
- 3Use one prompt to describe follow-up messages and the Elasticsearch records that should be queried.
- 4Choose the channel-message trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one real follow-up.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a task for the follow-up?
