Turn Company Mentions into Salesforce Accounts
When someone shares details about a potential new company in Slack, Notis creates the account in Salesforce right away. Your account database grows without anyone typing anything.
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 account
Creates a new account in salesforce with the specified information.
Why this helps
New customer mentions get lost in Slack. You're supposed to create an account record, but by the time you remember, you've lost the context or the opportunity.
- Stop losing track of new customers mentioned in Slack
- Build your account database automatically
- Ensure consistent, timely account creation across your team
- Reduce manual data entry and associated errors
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Salesforce to Notis
- 2Create an automation by DMing Notis or in the Automations portal: "Create accounts from messages"
- 3Write your prompt: "When someone mentions a new company or customer in Slack, create a Salesforce account with that company name and any other details provided."
- 4Set Channel Message as your trigger
- 5Test by posting a message like "Just talked to Acme Corp, they're interested" and verify the account is created in Salesforce
Questions about this workflow
What triggers an account creation—any mention of a company?
You can refine this in your prompt. For example: only create accounts in certain channels, only when someone says 'new customer', or only for companies you haven't worked with before.
Can Notis pull industry, location, or size from the Slack message?
If those details are mentioned in Slack, yes. Notis will extract and populate those fields.
What if the company already exists in Salesforce?
Notis can check before creating. Your prompt can specify: skip creation if the account exists, or just create a note linking the Slack mention to the existing account.
