Turn a workflow DM into extractor guidance
A detailed DM can become a clear next step. Notis can inspect the request, retrieve extractors, and identify what still needs clarification.
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
List document data extractors
Tool to list document data extractors. Use when you need identifiers and names of all extractors in your AlgoDocs account.
Why this helps
Document workflow ideas remain vague when nobody translates them into available capabilities.
- Turns informal requests into structured guidance
- Grounds recommendations in live extractors
- Shows unanswered questions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Algodocs in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named DM extractor fit summary.
- 3Tell Notis to read the DM, list AlgoDocs extractors, and summarize the closest fit with assumptions and missing information.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test it with one genuine workflow request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it decide if an extractor is sufficient?
It can summarize fit based on the message and returned extractor data, while flagging uncertainty.
Will it create a workflow in AlgoDocs?
No. The available action only lists extractors.
