Notis

Resolve proposal ownership in Slack

Make sure updates reach a real Slack user.

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

Owner names and emails do not always match Slack profiles, delaying handoffs.

  • Reduce routing errors
  • Speed up ownership checks
  • Keep handoffs accountable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bidsketch and Slack once.
  • 2Create an automation named Proposal Owner Lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to look up the Bidsketch owner by email and report the matching Slack user or the mismatch.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and report channel.
  • 5Test with one proposal owner.

Questions about this workflow

What happens when no user matches?

Notis reports the unmatched owner so you can correct the record or choose another route.

Does this send a message?
