Trigger
Direct Message Received

Action
List Contacts
Tool to list all contacts in your 2chat account. use when you need to retrieve your contact list after confirming your account connection.
Why this helps
A quick contact lookup can turn into a distracting detour across apps.
- Handle explicit contact-list requests from a DM.
- Avoid breaking focus to open another tool for a lookup.
- Keep the request private in Slack while Notis retrieves the list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and 2chat to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to retrieve 2chat contacts when a Slack DM explicitly requests the list.
- 3Write one instruction describing the request intent and asking Notis to use the list-contacts action.
- 4Pick the Slack direct-message trigger and select the channel for Notis run reports.
- 5Test with one clear DM request and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow send a WhatsApp message with the contacts?
No. The available action retrieves the contact list; it does not send WhatsApp messages.
Can I limit this to a particular kind of DM request?
Describe the exact request intent in the plain-language instruction so Notis can ignore unrelated messages.
