Feedback in DMs Becomes Notion Comments: Connect Your Channels
Someone sends you feedback via DM in Slack. Notis logs it as a comment on the relevant Notion page so the team can see and respond to the feedback together.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Why this helps
Feedback received in Slack DMs stays in DMs and never reaches the team or the pages where decisions are made. Neurodivergent founders risk losing valuable input because feedback lives in a silo instead of near the relevant work.
- Capture feedback from DMs and add it to relevant Notion pages automatically
- Keep team feedback in one place where decisions are made
- Make feedback visible to collaborators instead of hiding it in DMs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I receive a DM with feedback, add it as a comment to the related Notion page. Include the sender's name, the feedback content, and a timestamp.'
- 3Select 'Direct Message Received' as your trigger.
- 4Point Notis to your Notion workspace so it can find and comment on the relevant pages.
- 5Test by sending yourself a test DM with feedback and verify a comment appears on the related Notion page.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Notion page to comment on?
Your Notis prompt tells it the matching logic. For example, 'if the DM mentions a project name, find the Notion page for that project and add the comment there.'
Can Notis prevent duplicates if feedback arrives via multiple channels?
Yes. Tell Notis to check if a comment with similar content already exists on the page and avoid adding duplicates.
What if the feedback is sensitive and shouldn't be visible to the whole team?
Tell Notis to add the comment but mark it private, or add it to a restricted Notion page that only certain team members can access.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Notion actions
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Reaction Removed Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
New Bot Message Received Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` with `is_bot_message=true` instead. Triggered when a new bot message is posted to a Slack channel.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
