Make billing requests actionable
A direct message with a clear request and complete billing details can trigger invoice creation in Finmei.
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 Invoice
Tool to create a new invoice. Use when you have all invoice details ready and need to record it. Example: "Create an invoice for customer X with two items.
Why this helps
Billing requests in private messages are easy to forget when they are mixed with other conversations.
- Give direct-message billing requests a consistent next step.
- Avoid hunting through DMs for details later.
- Keep invoice creation focused on explicit requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Finmei to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Finmei invoice for a direct message only when it explicitly requests billing and includes sufficient details.
- 4Select the Slack direct-message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one complete billing request DM.
Questions about this workflow
Does this include group channels?
This workflow uses the direct-message trigger, which covers DMs; use a separate channel-message automation for channel requests.
Can it skip casual mentions of an invoice?
Yes. State that the message must make an explicit billing request before Notis creates an invoice.
