Save useful article DMs for later
A colleague's one-to-one recommendation can be easy to lose. Notis can add article links from Slack DMs to Goodbits for later review.
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
Create Link
Tool to create a content link in Goodbits Content Library. Use when you have an article URL and optional metadata ready.
Why this helps
Good recommendations arrive privately and disappear among work messages before they can be considered for a newsletter.
- Preserves one-to-one recommendations for editorial review.
- Avoids searching across separate DM conversations.
- Gives private suggestions a consistent place to land.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Goodbits to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, say to add article URLs sent in your Slack DMs to Goodbits for newsletter review.
- 4Select the Slack direct-message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real DM link.
Questions about this workflow
Will it add links from every DM?
The trigger covers direct messages; describe the article-only and newsletter-review criteria clearly in the instruction.
Are channel messages included too?
No. This workflow uses the direct-message trigger; channel posts use a different Slack event.
