Give important ideas a searchable foundation
When a Slack message captures an idea worth keeping, generate an embedding for a search or knowledge workflow.
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
Generate Text Embeddings
Tool to convert text into vector embeddings for feature extraction, semantic search, and similarity tasks. Use when you need numerical representations of text for ML applications.
Why this helps
Good ideas disappear into busy channels and are hard to rediscover by exact wording.
- Represent messages for similarity-based retrieval.
- Make it easier for a connected system to find related ideas.
- Capture meaning even when later searches use different wording.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hugging Face to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt telling Notis which idea messages to send for Hugging Face embeddings and how to report results.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test on one real idea message and confirm the resulting embedding is useful to your downstream search.
Questions about this workflow
Does an embedding create a searchable Slack archive by itself?
No. Embeddings are numerical representations; a connected search or storage process is needed to retrieve them later.
Can I select only durable ideas?
Describe the qualifying idea messages in the prompt, for example messages explicitly marked for later reference.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Hugging Face. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Hugging Face actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Change Discussion Status
Tool to change the status of a Hugging Face repository discussion. Use when you need to open or close discussions on models, datasets, or spaces.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Check Dataset Validity
Tool to check whether a specific dataset is valid on Hugging Face Hub. Use when you need to determine what features (preview, viewer, search, filter, statistics) are available for a dataset.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Check Models Upload Method
Tool to check if files should be uploaded through the Large File mechanism or directly. Use when preparing to upload files to a Hugging Face model repository to determine the appropriate upload method for each file.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Check Spaces Upload Method
Tool to check if files should be uploaded through the Large File mechanism or directly to Hugging Face Spaces. Use when preparing to upload files to a Hugging Face Space repository to determine the appropriate upload method for each file.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Claim Paper Authorship
Tool to claim authorship of a paper on Hugging Face. Use when you need to associate yourself or another user with an ArXiv paper.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Request Repository Access
Tool to request access to a gated repository on Hugging Face Hub. Use when you need to submit an access request for models, datasets, or Spaces that require approval. The fields required vary by repository.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Create Collection
Tool to create a new collection on Hugging Face. Use when you need to organize and curate models, datasets, spaces, papers, or other collections into a named collection.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Create Datasets Branch
Tool to create a new branch in a Hugging Face dataset repository. Use when you need to create a branch for versioning or experimentation with dataset changes.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Slack and Hugging Face, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
