Start Fillout authorization from a Slack DM
When you ask to connect Fillout, get the authorization link in the conversation.
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
Authorize OAuth
Tool to initiate the oauth authorization process for third-party applications. use when you need to generate the url to redirect your users to the fillout consent page.
Why this helps
Starting an integration connection can interrupt a task and require hunting for the right setup path.
- Start the connection flow from a direct request.
- Keep the authorization link close to the setup conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack to Notis once in the portal; Fillout authorization is the outcome of this automation.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to initiate Fillout OAuth and return the consent link only when a DM explicitly asks to connect Fillout.
- 3Select Direct Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a clear DM requesting the Fillout connection link.
Questions about this workflow
Does this complete authorization automatically?
No. It initiates OAuth and provides the consent link; the user must complete the consent flow.
Can it retrieve forms before consent?
The form-list action is separate and requires Fillout authentication.
