Carry useful feedback into Hashnode
Some feedback arrives in a private conversation but deserves a response on the article. A clear Notis prompt can handle that handoff thoughtfully.
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
Hashnode Add Comment
Tool to add a comment to a Hashnode post. Use after obtaining story ID and content, optionally provide a parent comment ID for replies.
Why this helps
A private Slack message contains a response-worthy point, but moving it into a public article conversation takes extra attention.
- Start from the private channel where feedback arrived.
- Prompt Notis to create only a suitable public response.
- Keep the article conversation connected to its source.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hashnode to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation there or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction to define which DMs qualify, what information may be shared publicly, and how to find the correct article before commenting.
- 4Select Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real, non-sensitive example and review the comment before relying on the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Should every DM become a public comment?
No. The prompt should limit this workflow to feedback that is clearly suitable and approved for a public response.
Does the trigger catch all DMs?
