Answer card availability questions from Slack DMs
Use the question as the cue to fetch the card list and keep the answer close to where it was asked.
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
Get Cards
This tool retrieves a list of all cards associated with the authenticated account. the action is completely independent and doesn't require any external resource ids or parameters beyond authentication. it allows users to monitor, track, and manage their cards.
Why this helps
Simple availability questions cause unnecessary interruptions when someone has to leave the conversation to check Amcards.
- Responds to a card-list question with a current retrieval.
- Reduces small context switches for the person answering.
- Keeps the lookup connected to the original DM.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Amcards to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis for a card availability lookup.
- 3Describe in one plain-language prompt what card questions should receive the retrieved list.
- 4Select Direct Message Received, choose a report channel, and test with one real question.
