Why this helps
Creating another note is tempting when no one can quickly see what references already exist.
- List Gists in the authenticated account in response to a channel request.
- Help the team check existing references before looking elsewhere.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gist to Notis once in the portal, using the account whose Gists should be listed.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to list the authenticated user's Gists when a Slack channel message asks for an inventory or existing reference.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a channel request for the Gist inventory.
