Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
Update Lead Interest Status
Tool to update a lead's interest status. Use when you need to set or reset a lead’s interest status for follow-up actions.
Why this helps
Lead outcomes shared in team chat can fail to reach the outreach system, leaving follow-up decisions unclear.
- Record a clear outcome where outreach is managed.
- Reduce the gap between conversation and lead status.
- Avoid relying on memory for routine status updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instantly to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to update the matching Instantly lead's interest status when a Slack channel message clearly states a lead outcome and identifies the contact.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger, choose where run reports should go, and test with one real outcome.
