Trigger

Why this helps
A team can spend time debating a process that is already reflected in account rules, simply because the configuration is hard to find.
- Surfaces existing rules during process discussions
- Reduces duplicate investigation
- Provides a shared reference for deciding next steps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Helpdesk to Notis once; authenticate Helpdesk when needed.
- 2Create a portal automation or ask Notis to create it using a plain-language request.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve Helpdesk rules relevant to a Slack question about routing or process and summarize them.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real channel question about how a support process is configured.
Questions about this workflow
