Process DMs with less reading
Give incoming messages a listenable form for moments when reading another screen feels like too much.
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
GAN AI Text-to-Speech
Tool to convert text to speech synchronously. Use after selecting a voice ID via Get Voices tool.
Why this helps
A full inbox can add a steady stream of small reading demands between deeper work sessions.
- Reduce the amount of reading needed to understand a new DM.
- Listen when it fits better than opening another conversation.
- Keep each audio version short and focused on the sender's point.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gan ai to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one instruction: turn each new DM into a concise spoken version with Gan ai text-to-speech.
- 3Select Slack Direct Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real DM and confirm names and key details sound clear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I tell Notis to skip routine messages?
Include that guidance in the prompt and test with the kinds of DMs you receive. The trigger itself is for incoming DMs.
Does this mark DMs as read?
No. The action converts text to speech; it does not manage Slack read status.
