Why this helps
Remembering where to find a list can add friction to a simple question during a busy day.
- Request the list from a familiar direct-message flow.
- Get a report without switching tasks to search manually.
- Reduce the mental overhead of remembering a separate lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Expofp to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to create it.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt asking Notis to list the Expofp expos when your Slack DM requests an event inventory check.
- 4Select the Slack direct-message trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one real DM request.
