Check key readiness from a Slack DM
Keep a key status request low-friction: send a Slack DM and have Notis check whether the Addresszen key is currently usable.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Key Availability
Tool to get public information on an api key, including whether it is currently usable. use when you need to verify that a key is valid and available before making further api requests.
Why this helps
A small but time-sensitive setup question can linger when it requires leaving a private conversation to check status.
- Start a key availability check from a direct message.
- Receive the outcome in the channel chosen for run reports.
- Keep private requests from being mistaken for channel messages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Addresszen to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal and name it for private key readiness requests.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to check Addresszen key availability when you request it by DM and report the result.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test by sending a direct message requesting an Addresszen key check.
