- 3Select Channel Message Received and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a channel message about a real upcoming intake.
Questions about this workflow
Does it create the intake form if none fits?
No. The available action retrieves the existing form list.
Can it tell whether a form is suitable?
The prompt can ask Notis to compare form names and available context, then report likely matches.
