Actor Identification
Primary actor: Internal team member issuing voice commands via Slack or connected device.
Secondary actors: Voiceflow assistant, Notion workspace, Airtable database, Google Calendar, Slack workspace, authentication service.
Actor Goals
Team Member: Get information, update records, or schedule meetings quickly without opening multiple apps.
Operations Manager: Keep internal tools up-to-date and ensure staff follow streamlined workflows.
Voice Assistant: Correctly interpret commands, query/update the right system, and confirm the action.
Internal Systems: Maintain data accuracy, avoid scheduling conflicts, and log all actions for review.
Context and Preconditions
- Voiceflow assistant integrated with Slack via API
- Notion and Airtable accounts connected with read/write permissions
- Google Calendar API enabled for event creation and conflict detection
- Authentication set up to ensure only authorized users can run certain commands
- Predefined command templates in Voiceflow for common queries and updates
Basic Flow (Successful Scenario)
- Team member sends a voice command in Slack: “Check the latest project deadline in Notion.”
- Voiceflow parses the command and queries the Notion database.
- Assistant responds in Slack with the deadline and related task status.
- Team member says: “Update Airtable - mark Task 14 as complete.”
- Voiceflow updates the Airtable record and confirms the change in Slack.
- Team member says: “Book a meeting with Sarah and Tom next Tuesday at 3 PM.”
- Voiceflow checks Google Calendar for conflicts, books the meeting, and sends invites.
Outcome: Team member completes multiple internal tasks hands-free within Slack, with all actions logged and confirmed.
Alternate Flows
- A1: Ambiguous query - If the assistant cannot find a matching record or project, it asks the user for clarification before proceeding.
- A2: Permission restriction - If the user does not have rights to edit a record, the assistant denies the action and notifies the manager.
- A3: Scheduling conflict - If Google Calendar detects a conflict, the assistant suggests the next available time slot.
- A4: API timeout - If Notion, Airtable, or Google Calendar does not respond, the assistant retries and informs the user of the delay.
