Why this helps

When a broad reference search is needed, remembering to perform it after the discussion can be easy to miss.

  • Uses the paginated action for all public collections.
  • Lets the team signal the need without breaking conversation flow.
  • Makes broader collection retrieval a repeatable step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect the Slack and IBM X-Force Exchange integrations once in Notis.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what should happen conversationally.
  • 3Use a single plain-language instruction to retrieve paginated public collections when the agreed reaction is added.
  • 4Select Slack message reaction added and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test by reacting to a real message that needs broad collection coverage.
