Keep recurring answers out of the message scroll
Convert a clear answer shared in Slack into a compact reference note you can revisit when the question comes up again.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggers when a message is posted in a channel or group conversation, but not a direct message.
Action
Create Text Document
Adds a text document to the knowledge base.
Why this helps
The same team questions return because good answers are buried in old channel messages.
- Preserve helpful answers outside the channel timeline.
- Reduce the effort of searching old conversations.
- Keep reusable team knowledge in a text document.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and ElevenReader once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify self-contained answers and save concise reference notes in ElevenReader.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real answer and check that the note preserves its meaning.
