Record useful Slack introductions as Salesforce contacts
When a channel introduction includes a person's name and a clear existing account, add the contact to Salesforce.
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
Create contact
Creates a new contact in salesforce with the specified information.
Why this helps
New relationships introduced in Slack are easy to overlook when contact records live elsewhere.
- Capture introductions while the context is available
- Keep new contacts associated with their account
- Reduce manual contact entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Salesforce contact only when a channel message clearly provides a last name and identifies an existing account.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real introduction message tied to an existing account.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create an account if the account is missing?
No. This workflow creates contacts and should skip messages that do not identify an existing account.
What contact information can it use?
Notis can use details present in the Slack message. Have the instruction specify which details to retain.
