Turn a Slack handoff into a follow-up plan
When a teammate flags a lead for a defined follow-up sequence, let Notis apply the plan in Follow Up Boss and keep the next steps moving.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
A clear plan to follow up can remain an intention in Slack instead of becoming an active workflow.
- Start an existing follow-up routine from a team handoff.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering each lead's next touch.
- Keep repeatable follow-up linked to the person.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Follow Up Boss to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to apply the specified existing Follow Up Boss action plan when a channel message clearly requests it for an identifiable person.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test using a handoff that names a known contact and an available action plan.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new action plan?
No. The selected action applies an action plan to a person. The requested plan should already exist in Follow Up Boss.
Can the workflow infer which plan to use?
Give Notis a clear instruction about the plan named or requested in the Slack handoff, and verify the result with a test.
