Look up Slack owners from Botbaba requests
Turn requester details into reliable Slack ownership signals.
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
Manual email searches delay handoffs and cause messages to reach the wrong teammate.
- Match people accurately
- Speed up ownership checks
- Reduce misrouted handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botbaba and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Requester owner lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to look up the active Slack user for each Botbaba requester email and report the match or missing account.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test it with one real requester email.
Questions about this workflow
What if the email is not registered in Slack?
Notis can report that no active Slack account was found for manual routing.
