Put a lead into nurture from a direct message
When a DM makes it clear that a lead needs ongoing nurture, have Notis start the existing Follow Up Boss plan for that person.
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
Apply Action Plan to Person
Tool to apply an Action Plan to a person in Follow Up Boss. Use when you need to assign or apply a specific action plan workflow to a contact.
Why this helps
Leads who are not ready today can be forgotten when their next touch is not made part of a routine.
- Start an existing nurture routine from a DM handoff.
- Keep longer-term prospects from falling out of view.
- Reduce the need to remember each future touch manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Follow Up Boss to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for a DM nurture workflow.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to apply the named existing action plan when a DM explicitly says an identifiable lead should enter nurture.
- 4Pick the Slack direct message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a clear nurture handoff and verify the plan is applied to the right person.
