Create Docmosis sample data from Slack
Give the team usable test data as soon as they ask, based on the actual template structure.
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
Get Template Sample Data
Tool to generate sample data for a Docmosis template based on its structure. Creates placeholder values that can be used for testing renders. Returns data in JSON or XML format.
Why this helps
Testing stalls when nobody knows which fields or repeat groups need example values.
- Speeds up template testing
- Matches sample values to the parsed structure
- Reduces guesswork for nontechnical teammates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Docmosis in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Sample data on request.
- 3Describe that a request should generate sample data for the named template and state whether JSON or XML is preferred.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one real template testing request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the output be JSON or XML?
Yes. The instruction can specify the preferred format for each request.
