Capture work while the request is fresh and give it a durable place to go.
Trigger

Why this helps
Action requests disappear into message history before anyone records ownership or next steps.
- Captures requests immediately
- Reduces forgotten follow-ups
- Creates consistent task intake
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Appdrag in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that recognizes a task request, summarizes it, and creates an Appdrag task record with the available context.
- 3Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it assign an owner?
Ask Notis to include an owner when the message names one, and report when ownership is missing.
What if the request lacks enough detail?
Tell Notis to flag the missing information instead of creating an incomplete task.
