Finish calibration certificate requests from DMs
When a direct message names the calibration record, Notis can generate its GageList certificate as part of the request handoff.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Generate Calibration Certificate
Tool to generate a PDF certificate from a calibration record. Use after ensuring record ID and authentication.
Why this helps
Private requests can vanish from view, leaving document follow-up dependent on memory.
- Turn a one-to-one request into a completed document task.
- Reduce the chance that private follow-ups slip between meetings.
- Avoid manually repeating the certificate-generation step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GageList once through the portal.
- 2Create this automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction to generate a certificate only for a clear request with an identifiable existing calibration record.
- 4Select the Slack direct-message trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one real request for a known record.
Questions about this workflow
Does it search for a record from a vague description?
The instruction should require an identifiable record and have Notis report when a request needs clarification.
Where will I see run updates?
Choose a Notis run-report channel when creating the automation.
