Find the Formdesk visitor list from Slack

A Slack question about a form's visitors can prompt Notis to retrieve the visitor list for the form you identify.

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

Get Form Visitors

Tool to retrieve all visitors for a specified Formdesk form. Use when you need to list visitors by form ID.

Why this helps

Finding visitor information can require a distracting manual search when a question comes in during other work.

  • Start visitor-list retrieval from a relevant Slack question.
  • Reduce navigation between chat and form administration.
  • Make routine visitor checks easier to handle in context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Formdesk to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis to set it up.
  • 3In one plain-language instruction, describe which visitor inquiries should retrieve the list and how to identify the form.
  • 4Pick Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real inquiry and verify the visitor list is for the right form.

Questions about this workflow

Does this retrieve visitors for every form?

The prompt should identify the relevant form and specify when a visitor lookup is appropriate.

Does it modify visitor records?

No. Get Form Visitors retrieves the visitor list for review.
