Turn a direct repository request into setup
Capture a clear project kickoff ask from a DM and reduce the chance it disappears in your inbox.
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
Add a new repository
Add a new repository to the system with specified details
Why this helps
A direct setup request can be easy to overlook when it arrives among other messages and follow-ups.
- Give explicit repository requests a consistent next step
- Keep missing information visible for clarification
- Reduce reliance on remembering a DM later
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Entelligence to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language what to do with repository DMs.
- 3Ask in one instruction to add only explicitly requested repositories and surface any missing setup details.
- 4Select Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real request and confirm that the agent uses only details present in context.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a repository for every DM?
No. The prompt should limit repository creation to messages that explicitly request it and provide enough information.
Will the requester receive a direct reply?
The supplied action adds a repository. The workflow description does not include sending a Slack response to the requester.
