Keep important Slack DMs from slipping away
Preserve practical information shared in a DM as a concise note, so you do not have to remember which conversation contained it.
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
Create Text Document
Tool to create a text document in the ElevenLabs knowledge base. Use when you need to add text content that the agent will access for user interactions.
Why this helps
Useful details arrive privately and disappear into a DM history that is easy to forget to revisit.
- Creates a durable reference for useful DM details.
- Reduces the effort of finding a past conversation.
- Lets the instruction focus capture on information worth keeping.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Elevenreader to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to save only actionable instructions or durable work context from DMs as concise Elevenreader text notes, with source details when available.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a non-sensitive work detail and confirm the resulting note is accurate.
Questions about this workflow
Will every private message be saved?
Use the instruction to capture only durable work information, not routine or personal conversation.
Can I exclude sensitive material?
Tell Notis explicitly to skip sensitive personal information and secrets.
