Why this helps
A promising pursuit can stall when checking contract vehicle options becomes another disconnected task.
- Helps teams check vehicle context while planning a pursuit.
- Turns a discussion into a defined lookup task.
- Reduces tool switching for a targeted research question.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Highergov to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve Highergov contract vehicles when a Slack pursuit discussion asks about vehicle options.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where run reports appear.
- 5Test with a real question about a pursuit and the vehicles it may use.
Questions about this workflow
Does this determine whether a business can use a vehicle?
It retrieves contract vehicle information for your team to review; it does not make an eligibility determination.
Can we include the agency or market in the message?
Yes. Include the context your team has so Notis can make the lookup more relevant.
