Make a category correction from a direct request
Handle a specific naming correction from the message that brought it to your attention.
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
Update Category
Tool to update an existing category. use when you have the category id and a valid api token. example: "update category #1 name to 'category blue'."
Why this helps
Remembering a correction after leaving a DM adds another loose end to an already busy day.
- Turn a clear correction into a focused update request.
- Reduce the number of reminders needed to close the loop.
- Keep a small administrative task from lingering.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Expofp to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to update the identified category only when a Slack DM gives an explicit replacement name.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and run-report channel, then test with one real correction.
