Keep postal lookup exceptions easy to resolve
When a postal lookup needs attention, give it its own thread with the relevant location details ready for the team.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create new thread in channel
Creates a new thread in a text or announcement discord channel; requires a 'name' and optionally other details (e.g., 'auto archive duration', an initial 'message') in the request body.
Why this helps
Exceptions buried in a busy channel are easy to overlook or forget to follow up on.
- Give each exception a dedicated place for discussion.
- Keep lookup context together instead of scattered across channels.
- Make it easier to return to unresolved cases.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Postal Data API and Discordbot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations, choose New Automation, and name it Postal exception review.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt asking Notis to create a Discord thread when your backend sends a failed postal lookup, including the returned location details.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with one real failed lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Does Postal Data API start this automation directly?
No. Configure your backend to send Notis an HTTP request when a lookup fails; the webhook starts the automation.
What should the thread contain?
Ask Notis in the prompt to include the postal code, returned region, and the validation issue supplied in the webhook request.

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.
