Keep good card wording ready to reuse
When someone shares wording you want to reuse in Slack, have Notis save it as a Handwrytten template for the next appropriate occasion.
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
Create Template
Tool to create a new template for the current user. Use when you need to save a new message template for sending handwritten cards.
Why this helps
Useful note drafts disappear into busy channels, so the same messages get rewritten from scratch.
- Preserve good wording at the moment it is created.
- Spend less time starting a note from a blank page.
- Make repeatable appreciation messages easier to personalize.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Handwrytten to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Handwrytten template from a channel message explicitly marked as reusable note copy.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real, clearly labeled note draft and confirm the template in Handwrytten.
Questions about this workflow
Will every channel message become a template?
State in the instruction that only messages clearly marked as reusable note copy should create a template.
Can the template be edited later?
Yes. You can revise saved templates in Handwrytten when the wording needs updating.
