Keep equipment requests from slipping past
A quick laptop request can disappear among other updates. Give each request a trackable home in Freshservice.
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

Why this helps
Equipment requests often arrive in informal conversations that are easy to forget once the channel moves on.
- Preserve the request after the Slack conversation moves on.
- Make hardware follow-up easier to find and manage.
- Reduce the need to revisit channels for outstanding asks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Freshservice to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for a Freshservice ticket when a Slack channel message requests equipment.
- 3Pick the Slack channel message trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real equipment request in a Slack channel.
Questions about this workflow
Can this handle requests posted in a channel?
Yes. It listens for Slack channel messages, including public, private, and multi-party IM channels.
Does it choose what equipment to request?
Notis uses the message context and the plain-language instruction to create a ticket; keep the prompt focused on requests that need IT follow-up.
