Keep useful location notes from Slack DMs
Move a site detail from a private conversation into the map your future planning depends on.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create or Update Elements
Tool to create new elements or update existing elements on a map via geojson featurecollection. use when you need to batch add or modify elements on a specified map after confirming the map id.
Why this helps
A useful address or access note in a DM can be hard to recover when plans change or someone else takes over.
- Preserves useful location context beyond one conversation.
- Makes handoffs easier when someone else needs the site detail.
- Reduces searching across private messages before a visit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Felt to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to capture appropriate location notes from Slack DMs on a Felt map.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction defining which DMs are intended for map capture and what details are useful.
- 4Pick the Slack direct-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one DM you intend to share on the map and confirm the result.
Questions about this workflow
Will this capture every DM?
The prompt should define the intended notes, and you should only use it for information that is appropriate to transfer to the shared map.
Can I use this for site access notes?
Yes, when the message contains location context that your team is authorized to store in Felt.
