Resolve a scenario reviewer from their Slack email
Turn a known reviewer email into the Slack user record needed for a clean handoff.
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
A feedback handoff can slow down when you have an email but still need to locate the right Slack account.
- Find the Slack account tied to a supplied email.
- Reduce manual user search steps.
- Prepare reviewer context for a handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chatfai and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for reviewer email lookup.
- 3Describe how to use the supplied reviewer email to find the active Slack user.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real lookup request and confirm the returned user is correct.
Questions about this workflow
What if the email is not registered in Slack?
The action can fail when the email is unregistered or the user is inactive. Check the address or use a user search with other available details.
Does this contact the reviewer?
