Why this helps
Private planning questions often stall while someone opens Appveyor and searches for project names.
- Answer private project discovery questions quickly
- Keep planning context in the original DM
- Avoid repeated manual Appveyor searches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Appveyor in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named DM project index.
- 3Describe that Notis should return the Appveyor project list and highlight names relevant to the DM request.
- 4Pick Slackbot Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one real DM asking for Appveyor projects.
Questions about this workflow
Will this read every Slack DM?
The trigger catches new direct messages, and your instruction should tell Notis which requests to act on and how to handle unrelated messages.
Can the response stay private?
Choose a private run report destination and instruct Notis to keep the result in the originating DM when supported.
