Make team lunch plans ready to shop
When the team settles on lunch in Slack, let Notis gather the stated ingredients into an Instacart list.
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 Shopping List Page
Create a shopping list page on instacart + return shareable url. attempts prod first then falls back to dev; errors from prod bubble up if both fail.
Why this helps
Lunch plans can be decided in chat and then forgotten when everyone returns to work.
- Keeps agreed lunch ingredients in one shoppable place
- Cuts down on follow-up messages about what to buy
- Makes shared meal planning easier to hand off
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instacart to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to turn agreed Slack lunch plans into an Instacart shopping list.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real Slack message that lists a lunch plan and its ingredients.
Questions about this workflow
Does this turn every lunch suggestion into a list?
Describe in the prompt that Notis should act on an agreed lunch plan, so casual suggestions are not treated as decisions.
Where does the list go?
Instacart returns a shareable shopping list page that can be opened and reviewed.
