Notis

Find the Slack user behind a verified email

Validate an email before searching Slack, so contact lookups start with cleaner data.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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

Searching Slack with mistyped or malformed addresses wastes time and can leave you unsure whether a contact has an account.

  • Check an email address before looking up a Slack user.
  • Get the matching active Slack user when the address is registered.
  • Keep contact verification and team lookup in one workflow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ApexVerify and Slack once in Notis.
  • 2Create a new automation in Notis by describing the contact lookup outcome.
  • 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and pick where run reports should go.
  • 4Test with one real email verification request and review the Slack lookup result.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow create a Slack user?

No. It looks up an active Slack user registered with the verified email address. It does not create accounts.

What starts the workflow?

An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. ApexVerify does not provide a native trigger event.
