Check Instagram conversations from Slack
Ask Notis for the Instagram inbox when you need a clear starting point for message triage.
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
List All Conversations
List all instagram dm conversations for the authenticated user.
Why this helps
When messages arrive in several places, an Instagram conversation can sit unseen until you remember to check.
- Gives you a starting point for Instagram inbox triage.
- Makes an inbox check easy to request without opening another app.
- Helps reduce the chance of forgetting which conversations need attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to list Instagram conversations when you ask for an inbox overview in Slack.
- 3Choose the Slack DM trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with a real request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read every message in each conversation?
No. It lists conversations; use a separate conversation or messages action when you need more detail.
Can I make the request privately?
Yes. The direct-message trigger runs from a Slack DM.
