Run a small estimate batch for a Slack research panel list
A short list in the research thread can trigger a quick estimate report, with each result clearly marked as uncertain.
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
Predict Gender Batch
Tool to predict gender for multiple names in a single request. Use when batch gender predictions for several names at once.
Why this helps
Manual name lookup interrupts research planning and makes a small preparatory task harder to finish.
- Keep a small panel-name check close to its Slack discussion.
- Use one batch request for multiple first names.
- Surface probabilities alongside every estimate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Genderize to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to identify a permissioned research panel list, extract up to 10 first names, run Genderize batch predictions, and label results as estimates.
- 4Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports appear.
- 5Test using a real panel list you are authorized to process.
Questions about this workflow
Can estimates be used to screen participants?
No. Name-based estimates are uncertain and should not be used to decide an individual's eligibility or identity.
What does the workflow do with a longer list?
The prompt can ask Notis to process only the first 10 names and report that the rest were not included.
