Create an Accredible group from a Slack DM

A clear program request in a DM can become a ready Accredible group without another admin loop.

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

Create Group

Tool to create a new group. use after gathering all group details.

Why this helps

Important setup requests get buried in one to one chats and are recreated manually later.

  • Captures requirements while context is fresh
  • Creates consistent group records
  • Provides a run report for review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Accredible certificates in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for new credential program requests.
  • 3Tell Notis to summarize the DM, confirm missing group details, and create the group only when complete.
  • 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

What if the DM lacks required details?

Instruct Notis to report missing information and wait for a follow up instead of creating an incomplete group.

Can the requester approve the final details?

Yes. Your prompt can ask Notis to send a summary for confirmation before creation.
