Move Slack requests into Griptape work

Let a channel request become a Griptape run, with Notis carrying the context across tools.

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

Assistant Run Creation

Tool to initiate a new assistant run. Use when starting a fresh execution with custom arguments or resources after selecting the assistant.

Why this helps

Useful requests can get buried in busy channels before anyone has time to retype them into an automation tool.

  • Reduce copying between chat and Griptape.
  • Give requests a consistent path into focused assistant work.
  • Keep the original channel context available to the run.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Griptape to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language what outcome you want.
  • 3Use one instruction such as: When a new Slack channel message asks for analysis or action, start the appropriate Griptape assistant run with its context.
  • 4Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test with one real channel request and review the resulting Griptape run.

Questions about this workflow

Does this trigger on Slack direct messages?

No. The selected channel message trigger covers channel messages and does not match direct messages.

Do I need to map message fields?

No. Describe the desired behavior in one plain-language instruction; Notis interprets the available context.
