Start a private Discord handoff for client tasks
Move sensitive task coordination into the right private conversation quickly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Initiate user channel with recipient
Creates a new direct message (dm) channel or retrieves an existing one, using `recipient id` for a 1-on-1 dm or `access tokens` for a group dm; this action only establishes or fetches the channel and does not send messages.
Why this helps
Client follow-ups wait while someone manually finds the right private channel.
- Speed up private handoffs
- Reduce channel mistakes
- Keep sensitive context contained
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Discordbot once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Client task private handoff.
- 3Tell Notis to initiate or retrieve the DM channel for the supplied recipient when the webhook requests a private handoff.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, send one test payload, and verify the channel.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the message too?
No. This action establishes or retrieves the DM channel; add a separate instruction or workflow for messaging.
What recipient data is required?
Provide the Discord recipient id or the access tokens needed for a group DM.

Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
