Create a Docparser shortlist from a private Slack request
Answer a parser question privately with the options that actually exist in your account.
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
List Parsers
Tool to retrieve all Document Parsers linked to your account. Use when you need to view available parsers or obtain parser IDs for subsequent operations.
Why this helps
One-to-one parser questions create hidden research work and repeated answers.
- Answer private requests consistently
- Avoid repeated catalog searches
- Expose uncertainty when the request lacks detail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Docparser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for private parser selection requests.
- 3Describe how Notis should list available parsers and explain the best matches from the DM context.
- 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose where reports should go.
- 5Test with one real DM asking which parser to use.
Questions about this workflow
Can this action return parser models too?
No. It uses List Parsers. Use a separate model lookup workflow for layout details.
What happens when the request is ambiguous?
Notis should state what is missing and ask for the smallest clarification needed.
