Catch up on DMs by listening
For moments when reading is inconvenient, Notis can pass new DM text to Jigsawstack and report the generated speech.
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
Text to Speech
Tool to convert text to natural-sounding speech. Use when you need to generate an audio file from text input.
Why this helps
Switching into a busy DM inbox adds another reading task during already fragmented days.
- Catch up without reading in the DM view
- Use audio during transitions
- Reduce the friction of checking messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Jigsawstack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to make new Slack DMs listenable.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to convert each incoming DM's text to speech and report the audio result privately in your chosen run-report channel.
- 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and pick the report channel.
- 5Test with one real, non-sensitive DM.
Questions about this workflow
Will it speak every DM?
The supplied trigger catches new direct messages. You can describe the intended scope in the plain-language automation prompt.
Will Notis send an audio reply to the sender?
No. The action generates speech from text; the workflow reports the result to you.
