Turn approved Slack DMs into Flutterwave beneficiaries
Keep beneficiary setup from becoming another task to remember: process a complete, explicitly approved DM and report the outcome.
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 Beneficiary
Tool to create a new transfer beneficiary. use when you need to add a beneficiary before making a transfer.
Why this helps
A beneficiary request may arrive privately and disappear before it reaches the payment setup queue.
- Capture beneficiary requests arriving in DMs.
- Require explicit authorization before creating a record.
- Report the result where you can review automation runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Flutterwave to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for a new automation or open Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Use one prompt requiring an explicit authorized request and complete beneficiary details before creating a Flutterwave beneficiary.
- 4Pick the Slack direct message trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one authorized example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this use channel messages?
No. Select the Slack direct message trigger so the workflow responds to DMs.
Will Notis create a beneficiary from a vague message?
