Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to post new WhatsApp messages that sound like sales inquiries to your chosen Slack channel with a brief summary and sender context.
- 4Choose the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real inquiry and confirm the update is clear and useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send every WhatsApp message to Slack?
The instruction can ask Notis to share messages that appear to be sales inquiries, so unrelated conversations stay out of the channel.
Can the team review the message context?
Ask Notis to include a short summary and relevant sender context in the Slack update.
