Keep project blockers visible beyond Slack
Turn a stated obstacle or risk into a concise dated note with its impact and source context.
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
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
A blocker is mentioned once in Slack, then resurfaces later as a surprise because no one retained the detail.
- Preserves obstacles when they first appear.
- Keeps impact and source context together.
- Makes patterns in recurring blockers easier to spot.
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.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to save explicit project risks or blockers from channel messages as dated text documents, including impact only when stated.
- 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real blocker and confirm the note does not turn uncertainty into fact.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign someone to clear the blocker?
No. It preserves what was said; assigning or managing work requires a separate workflow.
What keeps the notes useful?
Ask Notis to include the project or work area and the concrete obstacle stated in the source.
