Keep one-to-one research requests from slipping
A direct message can become a browser task before it gets buried under newer conversations.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Start Browser Use Task
Tool to start an asynchronous browser-use task. Use when you need to automate web interactions given a task instruction.
Why this helps
Private requests are easy to forget when they arrive between focused work blocks.
- Catch research asks where they arrive.
- Preserve the intent of a one-to-one request in the task prompt.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering to start later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Hyperbrowser to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to start a browser-use task for direct messages that clearly request web research.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one safe, specific research request sent as a real DM.
Questions about this workflow
Will every DM start a task?
Describe the kind of explicit web research request that should qualify in the instruction.
Can it handle a vague request?
A bounded request with a URL or clear research goal gives the browser task more useful direction.
