Give security concerns a trackable record
A security concern deserves a clear path to follow-up, even when it first appears in a fast-moving channel.
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
Create Ticket
Tool to create a new ticket. Use when you need to log an incident or service request.
Why this helps
Important concerns can be difficult to track when reports and updates remain scattered across chat.
- Keep a durable record of reported concerns.
- Give investigation follow-up a clear service desk destination.
- Reduce repeated searching through Slack for the original report.
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 to create a Freshservice ticket when a channel message reports a security concern needing follow-up.
- 3Pick the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one appropriate, non-sensitive example report.
Questions about this workflow
Should I post sensitive incident details in Slack?
Use your organization's approved reporting practices; the workflow only reacts to information present in the triggering message.
Does this investigate the concern?
No. It creates a Freshservice ticket for follow-up; the appropriate team still investigates.
