Notis

Create Faraday streams from Slack requests

Capture a stream request where your team already discusses project data, then let Notis initialize it in Faraday.

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

Create Stream

Tool to create a new stream or find an existing stream by name. Use when you need to initialize a stream for event data collection.

Why this helps

Stream setup requests can disappear in busy channels, leaving event data collection waiting on someone to remember the next step.

  • Keep stream requests close to the project conversation.
  • Reduce manual copy-and-start work in Faraday.
  • Give the team a clear run report in a selected channel.

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 make one in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Faraday stream when a Slack message clearly requests a new event-data stream.
  • 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test with one real stream request in Slack and review the Faraday result.

Questions about this workflow

Does every Slack message create a stream?

Describe in the instruction that Notis should act only on messages that clearly request a new event-data stream, and test that behavior with a real example.

Do I need to configure field mappings?

No. Describe the intended outcome in one plain-language instruction; Notis interprets the request.
