Trigger

Action

Why this helps

Subscription checks often pull a founder out of a conversation and into a separate account search.

  • Reduces interruption during customer triage
  • Provides subscription context alongside the Slack question
  • Helps avoid repeated searching for account details

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Helpdesk to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation or tell Notis what to do in plain language.
  • 3Give Notis one instruction to look up Helpdesk subscription details for the customer mentioned in a Slack DM and summarize the result.
  • 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a DM about a known customer subscription.
