Validate candidate emails from Slack
Check the contact detail while the hiring discussion is active, before scheduling work depends on it.
Trigger

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Email Validation
Tool to validate whether an email address is real and deliverable. use after collecting an email address to confirm deliverability.
Why this helps
Candidate details and scheduling decisions are discussed in separate places, creating another chance for an invalid address to slow things down.
- Catch possible address problems before scheduling follow-up.
- Keep the check in the hiring conversation's context.
- Reduce manual rechecking across recruiting notes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Abstract to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to validate candidate emails shared in Slack hiring discussions.
- 3Use one instruction: when a channel message includes a candidate email for scheduling or follow-up, validate it with Abstract and report the result without contacting the candidate.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real candidate address handled appropriately.
Questions about this workflow
Does validation confirm a candidate's identity?
No. It checks whether the email appears real and deliverable; it does not verify identity.
Will it schedule an interview?
