Why this helps
Small lookup requests can linger when finding the right form requires switching tools and rebuilding context.
- Respond to form questions with less app switching.
- Use the DM as context for the lookup.
- Keep the result available in the automation report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Jotform to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to check the Jotform form list when a DM asks about a form and report likely matches.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM asking about a known form.
