Open Discord DMs for urgent Slack requests
Move urgent one-to-one follow-up into the space your collaborator checks next.
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
Initiate user channel with recipient
Creates a new direct message (dm) channel or retrieves an existing one, using `recipient id` for a 1-on-1 dm or `access tokens` for a group dm; this action only establishes or fetches the channel and does not send messages.
Why this helps
A time-sensitive Slack DM can stall when the recipient is more active in Discord.
- Accelerate urgent handoffs
- Reduce waiting
- Open the right conversation quickly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that identifies urgent Slack DMs and opens or retrieves the corresponding Discord DM channel.
- 3Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one urgent DM.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the message too?
This action establishes or retrieves the Discord DM channel. Add a second automation if you also need a posted message.
How does Notis know the Discord recipient?
Include the recipient matching rule in your instruction and provide any needed identity context.

Slackbot triggers
Discordbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add recipient to group channel

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
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.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
