Your FreshBooks projects, one Slack DM away
Sometimes you just want a quiet, private answer. Send Notis a direct message and it pulls your live FreshBooks project list and replies, no channel noise and no dashboard trip.

Why this helps
You do not always want to ask a public channel or open a full billing tool just to remember what is open.
- Get your project list privately, without posting in a channel
- Skip the billing dashboard for a simple check
- Ask in the same Slack you already have open
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and FreshBooks to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link and open Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome: when I DM Notis about projects, list my FreshBooks projects and reply.
- 4Select the direct message trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 5Send a test DM to confirm the reply arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Is the reply private?
Yes. The trigger is your direct message, so Notis replies in that same DM thread.
Can I ask in plain words?
Absolutely. You describe what you want in natural language and Notis handles the rest.
