Turn Slack research requests into Kadoa workflows
When someone asks the team to gather structured information from the web, let Notis start the Kadoa workflow from that request.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create Workflow
Tool to create a new workflow in kadoa. Use after configuring URLs and schema or prompt.
Why this helps
Research requests get buried in busy channels, leaving someone to remember and configure the collection later.
- Capture explicit research requests while they are still in context.
- Move from discussion to an extraction workflow with fewer handoffs.
- Use the original message to inform what the collection should cover.
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 for the outcome.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Kadoa workflow when a channel message requests structured extraction from web sources.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with a real channel message that names a research goal and sources.
Questions about this workflow
Will every channel message create a workflow?
The trigger fires on channel messages. Describe the request pattern and extraction goal in the plain-language instruction, then test it with a representative message.
Can the workflow use sources mentioned in the message?
The instruction can ask Notis to use the source context in the message when creating the Kadoa workflow.
