- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction for Notis to retrieve a Gist revision when an incident follow-up DM includes its ID and commit SHA.
- 4Pick the Slack direct message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real revision reference in a DM.
