Trigger

Action

Why this helps
It takes extra effort to work out who is involved when a conversation reference is separated from the inbox.
- Clarifies who is involved before you decide on a next step.
- Keeps a conversation details request attached to its Slack context.
- Reduces time spent searching for the right inbox thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language to retrieve details for the Instagram conversation referenced in a Slack question.
- 3Choose the Slack channel-message trigger, set the run-report channel, and test with a real conversation reference.
Questions about this workflow
Will it return the full DM history?
No. It retrieves details about a specific conversation, including participants; use the messages action for message history.
How should I reference the conversation?
