Turn a receipt DM into a processing step
Send a receipt and a clear processing request in Slack DM; Notis can start the Extracta ai extraction from that message.
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 Extraction
Tool to initiate a new document extraction process. use when you have prepared extraction details and need to start processing the document. returns a unique extraction id for tracking.
Why this helps
Founders often send themselves receipts for later, then forget which DM contains the document when expenses are due.
- Makes personal receipt capture quick
- Reduces searching through saved DMs later
- Starts processing while the expense context is fresh
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Extracta ai to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to start an Extracta ai extraction when a DM shares a receipt and asks for expense processing.
- 4Pick Slack Direct Message Received and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test by sending a real receipt in a DM with a clear processing request.
