Stay ahead of vendor follow-ups
Have Notis capture supplier commitments discussed in Slack so you can see who owes what and when to check back.
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 Table Row
Add a row to a table using microsoft graph api.
Why this helps
External follow-ups get mixed into internal chat and can be forgotten when attention shifts.
- Keep external commitments apart from general conversation.
- Make pending replies easier to scan during a weekly review.
- Reduce the chance of forgetting to check back with a supplier.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Excel to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe in one prompt that vendor commitments or pending replies should become rows in your Excel follow-up list.
- 3Choose Channel Message Received and set a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real Slack message about a vendor promise or expected reply.
Questions about this workflow
Can the prompt distinguish vendors from internal tasks?
Describe vendor or supplier messages as the only items to record.
What if no follow-up date is stated?
Ask Notis to leave the date unstated rather than infer one.
