Keep client inquiries from getting buried in DMs
Have Notis submit relevant inbound client inquiries from Slack DMs to Getform, so they reach your intake process even when your inbox is busy.
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
Submit Form
Tool to submit form data and files to a Getform endpoint. Use when you need to post fields, files, optional reCAPTCHA or honeypot to a specific form ID.
Why this helps
A direct message can feel easy to answer in the moment, then vanish from view before the inquiry gets recorded.
- Move inquiries into a dedicated intake destination.
- Keep the message context available for the next step.
- Spend less time re-entering details later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Getform to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language to submit relevant client inquiries from Slack direct messages to your Getform form.
- 3Pick Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real inquiry and confirm its submission in Getform.
