Look up a Slack owner for transaction follow up
Turn a transaction contact into a clear Slack owner without manually searching the workspace.
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
Follow ups stall when the person responsible is known by email but not easy to locate in Slack.
- Clarify ownership quickly
- Reduce manual Slack searches
- Prepare reliable handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blocknative and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Transaction Owner Lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to use the supplied email address to find the matching Slack user and report the result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and Slack report channel.
- 5Test with one real contact.
Questions about this workflow
What if the email is not registered?
Slack can return no matching active user, and Notis can report that result for manual resolution.
Does this send a message to the owner?
No. It identifies the user so another workflow can notify them.
