Confirm an Apaleo unit reference in Slack
Let Notis check whether a unit mentioned in a channel message exists before teammates rely on it.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Check if a unit exists
Check if a unit exists by id.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'units.read, setup.read, setup.manage'.
Why this helps
A stale or mistyped unit reference can create avoidable follow-up and split attention across systems.
- Confirm unit references where they are shared.
- Reduce rework from invalid IDs.
- Keep the team aligned on whether the lookup succeeded.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Apaleo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt to check unit IDs mentioned in channel messages and report whether each exists in Apaleo.
- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one valid unit ID in a Slack message.
