Give repository questions a focused place to resolve
Turn a well-formed Slack question about a model, dataset, or Space into a discussion on its Hugging Face repository.
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
Create Discussion
Tool to create a new discussion on a Hugging Face repository (model, dataset, or Space). Use when you need to start a conversation, report an issue, or create a pull request discussion.
Why this helps
Technical questions scatter across chat, making repository-specific follow-up harder to track.
- Keep repository questions close to the relevant project.
- Create a clear discussion thread for continued work.
- Reduce the need to copy and reformat a question manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hugging Face to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation using the portal or a plain-language request to Notis.
- 3Write one instruction to create a repository discussion only for clear repository-specific questions, preserving relevant context.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received and set the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real question and confirm the repository and discussion content are correct.
Questions about this workflow
Can it identify the right repository?
Include guidance in the prompt and require Notis to ask for clarification or skip the action if the repository is ambiguous.
Will every Slack question create a discussion?
Specify a clear qualification, such as a named Hugging Face repository and an unresolved question about it.
