Match proposal contacts to Slack users
Turn proposal contact details into a ready internal handoff.
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
Manual email searches slow down ownership and escalation.
- Quicker ownership checks
- Fewer identity mistakes
- Smoother escalations
