Find the Slack contact for a Bing site task
When a site task comes in from your process, use the supplied email to find its owner's Slack profile and speed up coordination.
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
Ownership details in site work can be hard to connect to the right Slack person when names are unfamiliar or inconsistent.
- Connect task ownership to a Slack account
- Reduce time spent searching by name
- Make handoffs easier when email is available
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bing Webmaster Tools and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and name it for owner lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to look up the Slack user for the email supplied with an external Bing site task.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example using an active Slack user's registered email.
Questions about this workflow
Will the lookup find every email address?
No. Slack returns an active user only when that address is registered in the workspace; unregistered or inactive users will not be found.
Does Bing provide the webhook payload?
No. Bing has no trigger events here. Your task process must send the owner's email to Notis.
