Get Chatfai character briefs from Slack DMs
Answer character research requests without making people hunt through another app.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Get Public Character By ID
Tool to retrieve a public character by its id. use when you need to fetch details of a single public character by providing its unique id.
Why this helps
Direct-message requests for quick research become forgotten follow-ups or half-finished browser searches.
- Respond to research requests faster
- Create consistent briefs
- Keep one-off questions from becoming dropped tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Chatfai once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named DM character brief.
- 3Tell Notis to detect a public Chatfai character ID in each DM, retrieve the character, and write a concise brief with its name, description, and notable traits.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real DM containing a character ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reply directly in the DM?
The automation produces a run report in the destination you choose; instruct Notis to post there if your connected setup supports it.
What if the DM has no character ID?
The automation should report that the required ID is missing instead of guessing.
