Explain Docmosis template structure in a Slack DM
Give teammates a plain language explanation of template fields and repeats without making them open another tool.
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
Get Docmosis Template Structure
Tool to retrieve a template's parsed structure: fields, repeats, conditions, images, and refs. Use after uploading a template to inspect its JSON structure.
Why this helps
People lose time figuring out which fields a document template expects before they can use it.
- Clarifies required data before rendering
- Reduces back and forth with document specialists
- Creates a reusable explanation in the DM

- 1Connect Slackbot and Docmosis in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Template structure explainer.
- 3Describe that each DM naming a template should return its fields, repeats, conditions, and refs in plain language.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one real template name in a DM.
Questions about this workflow
What if the template name is unclear?
Notis can report the ambiguity and ask for a more specific template name.
