Notis

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.
