Create Faraday traits from Slack discussions
Keep useful data definitions from getting buried in discussion by turning explicit Slack requests into Faraday traits.
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 Trait
Tool to create a new trait in Faraday. Use when you need to define a new fact about a person or geographic entity that can be used in modeling, analysis, and reporting.
Why this helps
Teams repeatedly discuss the same customer attributes because nobody has time to formalize each useful definition.
- Turn an agreed fact into a reusable Faraday resource.
- Reduce repeated clarification about what an attribute means.
- Keep the request traceable to its original Slack discussion.
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 in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction to create a Faraday trait when Slack contains an explicit request for a reusable person or geographic fact.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real, clearly named trait request and check the result in Faraday.
Questions about this workflow
What does a Faraday trait represent?
A trait is a fact about a person or geographic entity that can be used in modeling, analysis, and reporting.
Can a general brainstorm create traits?
Use the instruction to require an explicit request or decision, then test that distinction with a real message.
