What it does

New members ask the same onboarding questions over and over. This workflow listens to a designated Discord help channel, retrieves the most relevant passages from your Notion documentation, and posts a grounded answer back in a thread — with links to the source pages so the asker can read more.

When to use it

Run this when your community has a public help or onboarding channel and a maintained docs space in Notion. It's ideal for deflecting repetitive setup, billing, and 'how do I' questions before a human ever sees them.

How it works

  1. 1A new message in the watched Discord channel triggers the flow.
  2. 2The message text is embedded and matched against an indexed Notion docs corpus to pull the top relevant sections.
  3. 3OpenAI composes an answer strictly from the retrieved passages, refusing to guess when coverage is thin.
  4. 4A confidence check decides whether the answer is solid enough to post.
  5. 5If confident, the bot replies in a Discord thread with the answer plus source page links.
