Keep customer insights from slipping away
Convert a customer detail sent by DM into a spoken brief you can revisit before a product or customer conversation.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Text to speech stream
Converts text to a spoken audio stream, allowing latency optimization, specific output formats (some tier-dependent), and custom pronunciations; ensure the chosen model supports text-to-speech and text is preferably under 5000 characters.
Why this helps
Useful insights shared privately can be forgotten before they reach the next planning session.
- Keep an insight close without reopening a private conversation.
- Listen to customer context before a decision or discussion.
- Make a small but useful signal easier to remember.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ElevenLabs to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis which customer insight DMs should become spoken briefs.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 5Send one real insight DM to test the automation.
Questions about this workflow
Can I request a concise version instead of reading the full DM?
Yes. Ask Notis to make a concise spoken brief from the qualifying message.
Does this share the DM with anyone else?
The workflow generates audio in ElevenLabs. Keep the prompt and connected account choices aligned with your intended audience.
