Run a scheduled audit of verified contacts in Slack
Use a recurring run to validate a supplied email list and find which addresses match active Slack users.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Lookup users by email
Retrieves the slack user object for an active user by their registered email address; fails with 'users not found' if the email is unregistered or the user is inactive.
Why this helps
Contact lists drift over time, and checking each address and workspace account by hand can fall off the to-do list.
- Review a batch of supplied emails on a recurring schedule.
- Find which validated addresses match active Slack users.
- Make contact-list upkeep a predictable review instead of an ad hoc task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApexVerify and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the recurring contact audit and its expected report.
- 3Choose a Notis cron schedule and where run reports should go.
- 4Provide a real email list for a test run and review the lookup results.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule find a contact list by itself?
No. Supply the email list or its source in the automation prompt and available context. The workflow cannot assume access to an unconnected contact store.
Will it invite people who are missing from Slack?
No. This workflow looks up users only; it does not invite or create accounts.
