Move direct print requests into FinerWorks
Keep one-to-one print requests from becoming private follow-up tasks that are easy to forget.
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
Submit Orders
Tool to submit up to five new orders. Use after all customer and line-item details are finalized.
Why this helps
A useful order request sent directly to you can disappear from view among personal messages and other work.
- Turn private requests into a consistent order handoff.
- Reduce the need to revisit DMs to copy order details.
- Use explicit completeness rules before submission.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FinerWorks to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis conversationally what it should do.
- 3Write one instruction to submit only complete, finalized print orders received in Slack DMs, using the details in the request without guessing.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test with one real DM request that includes all required order details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger include Slack channel posts?
No. Direct Message Received is for DMs. Use the channel-message trigger for channel requests.
Should it submit a tentative quote request?
Tell Notis to submit only finalized orders. A request that is still being discussed should not trigger submission.
