Check responder presence before escalation
Choose a practical next step based on whether the person you need is currently available.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Retrieve user presence
Retrieves a slack user's current real-time presence (e.g., 'active', 'away') to determine their availability, noting this action does not provide historical data or status reasons.
Why this helps
Teams lose time escalating to someone who is away while an onchain issue continues.
- Improve escalation timing
- Reduce unnecessary pings
- Make handoffs more deliberate
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blocknative and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Responder Presence Check.
- 3Tell Notis to check the supplied Slack user's current presence and summarize the recommended next step.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and Slack report channel.
- 5Test with one real qualifying event.
Questions about this workflow
Does presence include a reason for absence?

Can it notify someone else if the responder is away?
