Triage your inbox from a Slack DM
Ask in Slack what needs attention, then get a concise Agent mail queue back.

Why this helps
Inbox triage gets postponed because the request arrives in a different context than the email.
- Creates a focused list instead of an open-ended inbox review
- Highlights messages that need decisions
- Keeps triage in the conversation where it was requested

- 1Connect Slackbot and Agent mail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named for DM inbox triage.
- 3Describe how Notis should identify urgent messages and summarize why they matter.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received and a report channel.
- 5Test with one DM requesting an inbox review.
