Take recipe requests from Slack to Instacart
Let Notis turn a clear recipe request in a Slack channel into a recipe page with a shareable link.
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 Recipe Page
Create a recipe 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
Recipe ideas in busy channels are easy to lose before anyone can act on them.
- Captures useful recipe requests while context is fresh
- Creates a shareable recipe destination
- Reduces the effort of revisiting a long conversation
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 in plain language to create an Instacart recipe page from clear Slack recipe requests.
- 3Choose Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real channel message describing a recipe request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation invent recipe details?
Use the prompt to ask Notis to rely on details present in the message and request clarification when they are insufficient.
Can I share the result?
The Instacart recipe page action returns a shareable URL.
