Trigger Faraday connection refreshes from Slack
When connected data needs to be current for the next decision, request a refresh in Slack and keep your flow moving.
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
Force Update Connection
Tool to trigger a rerun for a Faraday connection. Use when you need to force refresh connection data.
Why this helps
A founder may delay analysis because refreshing a connection requires reopening Faraday and remembering the exact next action.
- Start a refresh from the team's active discussion.
- Reduce tool switching before analysis.
- Keep a visible record of the refresh run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Faraday to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what to do conversationally.
- 3Give one instruction to force-update the Faraday connection named in an explicit Slack refresh request.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real request identifying the connection to refresh.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add a new connection?
No. It forces an update for an existing Faraday connection.
What should the Slack message contain?
Name or clearly identify the connection and state that it needs a refresh.
