- Keeps the follow-up request linked to the team discussion.
- Reduces the effort of finding the right conversation again.

- 1Connect Slack and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language to retrieve messages from the Instagram conversation referenced in a Slack follow-up request.
- 3Pick the Slack channel-message trigger, choose where run reports should appear, and test with one conversation reference.
