- Keep a correction connected to its source conversation.
- Avoid unnecessary rework when supporter details change.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Givebutter to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to apply authorized supporter contact corrections.
- 3Write one instruction telling Notis to identify the intended contact and update only the fields and values explicitly provided.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one authorized correction and confirm the right contact was updated.
Questions about this workflow
Should every mention of a changed email trigger an update?
Use the prompt to require an authorized, explicit correction and enough information to identify the intended contact.
Can this create a contact if none exists?
This workflow uses Update Contact, which changes an existing contact by ID. It should only proceed when the correct contact can be identified.
