Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
Get Entity Type
Tool to classify a text string into an entity type. Use when you need to identify if input refers to a Location, Organization, or Individual.
Why this helps
Ambiguous names can cause a founder to spend time on the wrong lookup or send a question back to the team.
- Classifies a supplied string as a location, organization, or individual.
- Helps guide the next research step for an ambiguous mention.
- Reduces unnecessary clarification loops.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Interzoid to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, have Notis classify clearly identified ambiguous names from the selected channel and report the input and entity type.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real ambiguous mention.
Questions about this workflow
Can classification identify the exact person or company?
It classifies the type of entity; it does not by itself verify a specific identity.
What if a message includes a full conversation with many names?
Instruct Notis to process only the specific phrase clearly highlighted as needing classification.
