Notis

Find one known Getform submission from a DM

When a DM includes the form and submission IDs, Notis can fetch that exact Getform record for your review.

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

Get Form Submission

Tool to retrieve a specific submission by its ID. Use when you have both form_id and submission_id and need that single record.

Why this helps

Looking up a known record still takes focus away from the task that prompted you to need it.

  • Retrieve the exact submission you have in mind.
  • Keep the lookup request in Slack.
  • Avoid a separate manual search for a known record.

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 to retrieve the exact Getform submission when your DM provides its form ID and submission ID.
  • 3Pick Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
  • 4Test with one real record reference and confirm the returned submission.
