Prepare Callerapi contact follow-up with a Slack email lookup

Turn a known contact email into a timely Slack lookup, so the next follow-up starts with less searching.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

A contact's Slack identity can be easy to lose track of when caller and team context live in different tools.

  • Look up an active Slack user by registered email.
  • Prepare a follow-up using a supplied contact email.
  • Get the lookup result through the automation's run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Callerapi and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the Callerapi contact email you provide to look up the corresponding active Slack user and summarize the result.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real contact email.

Questions about this workflow

Does Callerapi provide a contact email automatically?

The listed Callerapi capabilities do not specify a trigger or an email field for this workflow. Supply the email in the automation's instruction or request.

What happens if the email is not registered in Slack?

Slack's lookup may fail when the email is unregistered or the user is inactive. The report can relay that result.
