Define character actions from a documented Slack process
Convert a clear team process into usable AI capabilities.
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
Define or Update Character Actions
Tool to define or update the list of actions a character can perform. Use when you need to configure or adjust character capabilities before deployment.
Why this helps
Process documentation often exists, but the assistant never gets configured to follow it.
- Connects documentation to configuration
- Makes team processes executable
- Cuts repeated setup conversations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Convolo ai once in Notis
- 2Create an automation for process driven action definitions
- 3Tell Notis to extract explicit capabilities from the message and define them for the named character
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel
- 5Test with one message that documents a stable process
Questions about this workflow
Can it invent actions missing from the message?
No. Instruct Notis to use only capabilities clearly stated or supplied in the message.
What if the character name is missing?
Notis should ask for the character identifier or report that setup context is incomplete.
