Run a Kadoa extraction from a Slack DM
Send a URL and a clear request in Slack. Notis can start a one-off Kadoa extraction without making you switch into a separate research setup.
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
Run Ad-hoc Extraction
Tool to synchronously extract data from a URL using a given template. Use after choosing the schemaId (custom or 'html', 'body', 'markdown').
Why this helps
A useful page arrives in a DM, but extracting its details requires a separate task that is easy to postpone.
- Capture an interesting page while it is top of mind.
- Start a one-off extraction without setting up a recurring workflow.
- Reduce the chance that a useful link stays unopened.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Kadoa to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to extract requested URLs.
- 3Write one instruction explaining that a direct message with a URL and extraction request should use Kadoa ad-hoc extraction with the appropriate template.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by sending Notis a real URL with a specific extraction request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger include group channel messages?
No. Direct Message Received catches direct messages across Slack DM channels. Use a channel message trigger for requests posted in channels.
What if the message has no URL?
Include in the instruction that Notis should only run an extraction when a message contains a usable URL and a clear request.
