Start a data export from a Slack request
When you need a dataset outside Gigasheet, ask in Slack and let Notis initiate its export for you.
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
Initiate Dataset Export
Tool to initiate an export of a dataset. Use when you need to queue an export job with optional filtering. Use after preparing any filter state. Example: Initiate export for sheet `sheet_abc123` with filters: `{"gridState": {"filterModel": { ... }}}`
Why this helps
Getting data out for analysis or handoff can mean interrupting your work to navigate export controls.
- Reduce interruptions during data handoffs
- Start an export from the conversation where it was requested
- Support filtered exports when prepared filter state is available
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 initiate an export for a specified Gigasheet dataset from a qualifying Slack request.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to identify the dataset and any prepared filter state to apply.
- 4Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real export request and confirm the export job starts.
