Trigger
Webhook received

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
Approval routing breaks when names are inconsistent across systems.
- Improve routing accuracy
- Avoid name ambiguity
- Prepare reliable follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blue Pillow and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that resolves the approver identity from the incoming request.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger for the request payload.
- 4Choose where run reports go and test with one approved email address.
Questions about this workflow
What happens for an inactive user?
Slack may return no active match, and Notis can report that the approver needs another contact path.
