Move DM questions into a research starting point
Notis can recognize a clear public-information question in a new DM and ask Jigsawstack for a concise web-search overview.
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
Web Search
Tool to perform AI-powered web search with AI overview and geo-aware results. Use when you need concise search results enriched with AI summary and location context.
Why this helps
A useful question in a DM can be forgotten once the founder returns to the inbox or switches to another task.
- Capture questions at the moment they arrive
- Get a first-pass public web overview
- Reduce context switching to start research
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Jigsawstack to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to research suitable questions from incoming DMs.
- 3Give one plain-language instruction to search public sources for clear factual questions and report a short overview with source links when available.
- 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real DM containing a public-information question.
Questions about this workflow
Will this search for personal information about the sender?
The prompt should limit searches to the public-information question itself, not investigate the sender.
Does it respond to the DM sender?
No. The workflow reports its search result through Notis.
