Create a permanent record of important Slack DMs
Vital DMs from clients or leadership are automatically saved as documents in Telegram. No more disputes about 'what was agreed.'
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
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
A client agrees to terms in a Slack DM. Months later, they claim they never said that. You can't find the message in Slack's search.
- Creates defensible records of client agreements without legal hassle
- Removes mental burden of remembering verbal agreements
- Protects you from 'he said, she said' disputes
- Provides documentation for audits or compliance

Questions about this workflow
Can I choose which DMs get saved?
Yes. You can ask Notis to save only DMs from specific people (e.g., customers, partners).
What format are the documents?
Notis saves them as text documents or PDFs, preserving timestamps and sender info.
Is this legally admissible?
Timestamps and metadata are preserved, but consult your legal team for compliance requirements in your jurisdiction.
