Get Contacts

Why this helps
Email addresses shared in a private conversation are easy to misplace while manually searching another application.
- Uses a specific identifier to make lookup review clearer.
- Reduces copying an email between tools for a basic search.
- Keeps the result near the DM where the address was shared.

- 2Create an automation and write one plain-language instruction to check emails mentioned in a DM against Amcards contacts.
- 3Select Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose the run-report channel and test with a real DM containing an email address.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add the email to Amcards if there is no match?
No. The available action only retrieves existing contacts.
Can it report an exact email match?
The prompt can ask Notis to compare the retrieved contact emails and clearly report possible or exact matches for review.
