Turn Slack analysis requests into Aryn plans
Move from a channel request to a clear analysis plan without rebuilding the question.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Generate plan
Tool to generate a query plan without executing it. use when you need to review the logical plan before running your query (e.g., "generate a plan for revenue breakdown by region").
Why this helps
Analysis requests get buried in busy channels and take too long to translate into executable steps.
- Makes the intended analysis explicit
- Creates a plan before any query runs
- Keeps requests visible in the original channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Aryn once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that asks Aryn to generate a query plan for each channel message requesting document analysis.
- 3Pick the Channel Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real analysis request.
Questions about this workflow
Will Aryn execute the query?
No. Generate plan returns a logical plan without executing the query.
What if the message lacks a docset id?
The report should identify the missing id so the requester can provide it before another run.
