Keep team decisions visible in your time series data
When a Slack channel records a decision, add a concise, timestamped point to InfluxDB Cloud for later review.
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
Write Line Protocol Data
Tool to write line protocol data to a bucket. Use when ingesting asynchronous line protocol points after formatting the payload.
Why this helps
Decisions disappear into busy channels, leaving founders to remember what was agreed and when.
- Keep a timestamped record of decisions without copying them into a separate log.
- Make recurring decision patterns easier to analyze over time.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering where an agreement was made.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and InfluxDB Cloud to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Open Automations and create a new automation, or ask Notis conversationally to record qualifying Slack decisions in InfluxDB Cloud.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how Notis should recognize a clear decision and write a concise point.
- 4Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real decision message and confirm the point appears in the intended bucket.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Slack message become a data point?
No. Tell Notis in the prompt to record only messages that clearly state a decision.
What should the prompt include?
Describe what counts as a decision and ask Notis to preserve a useful summary and its message time in the line protocol point.
