Create a safe starting copy from a Slack DM
Give an experiment a copy of an existing chatflow without interrupting your work to navigate Flowise and clone it by hand.
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
Clone Chatflow
Tool to clone an existing chatflow. Use when you need to duplicate a chatflow by its ID.
Why this helps
A good starting workflow can be hard to reuse when copying it becomes another task to remember.
- Make an existing flow easier to reuse as a starting point.
- Reduce manual setup before testing a new idea.
- Use a direct message to initiate a focused cloning task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Flowiseai to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for one in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to clone the existing chatflow named in a clear DM and report the result.
- 4Choose Slack's Direct Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by DMing a request to clone a chatflow you can safely duplicate.
Questions about this workflow
Does cloning replace the original?
No. The Flowise action creates a clone of the existing chatflow.
What should the instruction do when the source flow is unclear?
Have Notis report that it needs a precise chatflow reference before attempting a clone.
