Trigger Faraday dataset updates from Slack
When a dataset needs fresh data now, make the request in Slack and let Notis start the Faraday update.
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 Dataset
Tool to trigger a rerun for a dataset. Use when you need to force a dataset to update immediately rather than waiting for its normal schedule.
Why this helps
Waiting for a routine refresh can block analysis when a founder needs current data to make a decision.
- Request an immediate refresh in the team's existing conversation.
- Cut down on switching into Faraday just to start an update.
- Make the action visible through a run report.
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 ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to force-update the Faraday dataset named in an explicit Slack refresh request.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real request that names the dataset to refresh.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the dataset's normal schedule?
The action starts an update immediately; the workflow description does not change the dataset's normal schedule.
What should the message identify?
Name or clearly identify the Faraday dataset and say that an immediate refresh is needed.
