Notis

Keep Dart tasks aligned with DM decisions

Turn private decisions into clear project records.

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

Update Task

Tool to update an existing task in DART with new properties. Use when you need to modify a task's title, status, assignees, or other attributes. Only properties specified in the request will be updated.

Why this helps

Scope changes agreed in DMs leave the shared task silently out of date.

  • Record confirmed changes
  • Reduce rework from stale scope
  • Preserve decision context

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Dart once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named DM scope updates.
  • 3Tell Notis to update the referenced Dart task only when the DM clearly confirms a scope change, and include the decision context.
  • 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test it with one confirmed change.

Questions about this workflow

Can it avoid tentative ideas?

Yes. Instruct Notis to act only on explicit, confirmed decisions.

Can it update the description?

Yes. Tell Notis which Dart task property should hold the decision.
