- Keep answers grounded in public profile data
- Make team knowledge easier to share
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Chatfai once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Channel character FAQ context.
- 3Tell Notis to find the character ID in each FAQ-style message, retrieve the public character, and draft an answer using only returned details plus the message context.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real character question.
Questions about this workflow
Will it make up missing character details?
The instruction should require Notis to label missing details instead of filling gaps.
Can it answer direct messages too?
Use a separate automation with Direct Message Received if the questions arrive in DMs.
