Why this helps
VIN details are easy to lose between lookup tools and team conversations, slowing down vehicle decisions.
- Give teammates a readable vehicle summary in Slack.
- Keep lookup context close to the decision conversation.
- Reduce manual copying between CarsXE and Slack.
Setup

- 2Create a new automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: share the VIN specifications returned by CarsXE in Slack.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real VIN lookup and confirm the Slack message is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does CarsXE automatically start this workflow?
CarsXE has no trigger events in this workflow. A Notis webhook starts the automation, and the prompt should use the CarsXE lookup result available to that run.
What should I include in the Slack message?
Ask Notis to include the VIN and the vehicle specifications returned by CarsXE, and to note any details the lookup did not provide.
