Keep blockers attached to the work they delay
When a channel message identifies a project blocker and its related ERPNext record, Notis can add a useful comment there.
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
Add Comment
Tool to add a comment to a document in ERPNext/Frappe. Use when you need to add comments or notes to any document type like ToDo, Issue, Task, or custom DocTypes.
Why this helps
Blockers often resurface because their cause and context were left behind in chat.
- Keep blockers with the affected work
- Make handoffs easier to understand
- Avoid repeating the same explanation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ERPNext to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis to comment on an identifiable ERPNext Project or Task when a channel message reports a concrete blocker.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received and pick a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real blocker message tied to a known ERPNext record.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis guess the affected project?
Ask Notis to comment only when the message clearly identifies a matching Project or Task.
What should the comment include?
Instruct Notis to capture the blocker and relevant context from the Slack message without adding assumptions.
