Turn new Slack messages into Aryn plans
Capture analysis intent from a new message and make the next step explicit.
Trigger
New Message Received Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` instead. Triggered when a new message is posted to a Slack channel.
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
Requests arrive in different channels and are hard to standardize before analysis begins.
- Standardizes incoming requests
- Creates a review checkpoint
- Reduces rework before execution
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Aryn once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that drafts an Aryn query plan from each new message containing an analysis request.
- 3Pick the New Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one real message and its document context.
