Slack messages that resolve into the right FreshBooks business
When a channel conversation touches billing, Notis pulls your FreshBooks businesses and replies so the team can point at the correct entity right away, no guessing and no dashboard detour.

Questions about this workflow
Will it flood the channel?
Notis only responds when the message is actually about confirming a business, because you describe the intent in plain language.
Does it work across multiple channels?
You set the trigger channel during setup and can build a separate automation for others.
