Remember commitments made in Slack DMs
Notis can turn commitments from Slack direct messages into a Gigasheet log you can review when planning your next steps.
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
Append Rows to Sheet by Name
Tool to append rows to a sheet by column names. Use after verifying the sheet handle and column names.
Why this helps
Personal follow-ups can fall through the cracks when they are tucked away in individual Slack DMs.
- Keep personal follow-ups visible
- Revisit what you agreed to without reopening every DM
- Reduce mental load from remembering promises
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gigasheet to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to log commitments from Slack direct messages in Gigasheet.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction explaining what counts as a commitment and what context to retain.
- 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real DM containing a commitment and verify the log entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does this watch channel messages too?
No. This workflow uses the direct message trigger, which catches DMs and does not match channel messages.
Can I use it to capture every DM?
Describe which commitments are worth logging in the prompt, to keep the sheet focused.
