Extract requirements from Slack messages

Turn scattered requests into a shared understanding of what must be true.

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

Create Chat Completion

Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.).

Why this helps

Requirements are often implied in conversation and missed during handoffs.

  • Make implicit needs explicit
  • Spot missing constraints
  • Improve handoffs

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and DeepSeek once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Requirements extractor.
  • 3Describe that each message should be parsed into requirements, constraints, assumptions, and clarification questions.
  • 4Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger.
  • 5Choose the report destination, then test with one request message.

Questions about this workflow
