Get the messages that truly need attention into Slack with enough context to act.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Urgent mail competes with everything else in the inbox, so a founder loses time deciding what deserves a response and the team waits for context.
- Apply one plain-language urgency rule instead of manually forwarding messages
- Give the team the sender, subject, and supplied message context in one place
- Make the response decision visible without claiming that anyone has read the post
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis to post a Slack escalation when a new Agent mail message matches your urgency rule.
- 3Select New Email Received from Agent mail and choose the Slack run-report channel.
- 4Test with one representative urgent message and review the resulting post.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis decide that a message is urgent?
Your prompt supplies the rule, such as a sender, keyword, or priority marker; Notis uses only evidence present in the received message.
Does the Slack post prove the team saw it?
No. It creates the requested notification; Slack read or response status is not inferred.
