Turn a broad city question into clearer activity directions
Notis can turn a broad 'what should we do?' message into a short list of Headout subcategories for the chosen city.
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
List Subcategories V2
Tool to fetch all subcategories for a specific city using V2 API. Use when you need to list subcategories of activities available in a particular city location.
Why this helps
Broad activity searches create too many choices and make it hard for a busy founder to decide what to explore next.
- Break a broad search into more specific activity directions.
- Help the group agree what to explore before comparing individual products.
- Avoid repeating the same initial research for each participant.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Headout once using the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to detect a city activity question, fetch that city's Headout subcategories, and post a brief list.
- 3Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a real question that names a city.
Questions about this workflow
What if no city is named?
Tell Notis to ask for the destination rather than guessing or making an unrelated Headout request.
Are these bookable experiences?
Subcategories are discovery information. The workflow does not reserve or purchase anything.
