Assign Discord roles from Slack urgency
Put the right responder in the loop as soon as urgency appears.
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
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Why this helps
Urgent Slack requests depend on someone remembering to update Discord access or visibility.
- Clarify responsibility
- Speed up response
- Reduce manual access changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that identifies the responder and assigns the specified Discord guild role.
- 3Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one urgent request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this assign any role?
The bot must have manage roles permission and the role must be below its highest role.
What if the responder cannot be matched?
Ask Notis to report the missing identity instead of changing roles.

Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
