Answer Slack questions from your Notion FAQ
When someone asks a question in Slack, finds the Notion FAQ pages that match and drafts an answer from them for you to approve.
What it does

How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
When someone asks a question in the Slack channel you choose, AI first checks it really is a question; greetings, thanks and chat are left alone and nothing is posted. For a real question it picks up to three search words, finds the Notion pages whose titles match, reads each page's title, link and property values, and drafts a short answer built only from what those pages say, naming the page each point came from. Lodol cannot read the body text of a Notion page, so it works best on an FAQ kept as a Notion database with the answer in a property.
The draft comes for approval, in full with its sources, before anything reaches the channel; anyone in your Lodol workspace can approve unless you name approvers. Approve it and the answer goes into the thread with the page links; reject it, or leave it for three days, and only the links are shared, with a line saying which happened. If no page title matches, or the pages found do not cover the question, the thread is told so and no answer is invented to fill the gap.
You need a Slack connection, a Notion connection with your FAQ pages shared with Lodol, and an Anthropic connection; the Slack channel where questions arrive; and a few sentences about your team.
