Action

Why this helps
Similar payment requests can be confused or repeated when there is no unique reference to follow.

- Make follow-up and reconciliation easier for the team.
- Keep the reference close to the request's automation report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Flutterwave to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or using the portal's New Automation option.
- 3Write one instruction to generate a Flutterwave transaction reference only for complete, authorized new payment requests and report the reference.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one valid request.
Questions about this workflow
Does generating a reference charge a customer?
No. This action generates a unique transaction reference; it does not itself initiate a payment.
Can a reference be generated for an incomplete request?
