Request Faraday stream rebuilds in Slack
When event data needs another pass, request a stream rebuild in the conversation where the need was spotted.
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 Stream
Tool to trigger a rerun for a stream. Use when you need to force rebuild a stream's data.
Why this helps
Stream rebuilds can fall behind when the person who notices an issue must remember to switch tools and restart it.
- Turn a clear reprocessing request into a Faraday action.
- Reduce task switching to restart event data processing.
- Keep run updates easy for the team to find.
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 identified Faraday stream when a Slack message explicitly requests a rebuild.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real rebuild request that identifies the stream.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new stream?
No. The action rebuilds an existing stream.
How should a team request the rebuild?
State clearly that the stream needs rebuilding and identify which Faraday stream is meant.
