Keep a temporary lookup failure from becoming a mystery
Tell the team a lookup is being retried so they know what is happening and do not repeat the same investigation.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
Without a status update, a temporary lookup problem can trigger duplicate work and unnecessary follow-ups.
- Show that a lookup issue has been noticed.
- Reduce duplicate troubleshooting effort.
- Keep the retry status visible to operations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Postal Data API and Discordbot once through the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation called Postal lookup recovery notice, or describe the notification to Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to post a concise status update when your backend reports a lookup failure and retry, including the supplied case reference.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one real retry scenario.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis retry the lookup?
No. Your backend manages the Postal Data API request and retry, then sends the status to Notis for the Discord update.
Can the notice include the eventual result?
Yes. Your backend can send a later result in a separate webhook request and you can define a corresponding update workflow.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
