- Keeps new prospecting workstreams distinct.
- Reduces the friction of opening Findymail for a small admin task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Findymail to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a Findymail list only when a Slack message explicitly requests one and gives its name.
- 4Choose the Slack channel-message trigger and run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real request using a suitable list name.
