Capture new contacts from Slack DMs in eTermin
Turn a clear Slack introduction into an eTermin contact, without pausing to re-enter the details later.
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 Contact
Tool to create a new contact in eTermin. Use when you need to add a contact before scheduling appointments.
Why this helps
Introductions and contact details get buried in private messages, then have to be found and entered again.
- Preserves contact details shared in a DM.
- Reduces repetitive entry during a busy day.
- Keeps client setup moving after an introduction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and eTermin to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create an eTermin contact when a Slack DM clearly asks to add someone, using only details present.
- 4Choose the Slack Direct Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM that includes a new contact's details.
Questions about this workflow
Will every DM become a contact?
The instruction should tell Notis to act only when the DM clearly requests adding a new person; unclear messages can be skipped.
What if a DM is missing contact details?
Notis should use only details present in the message and report when more information is needed.
