Bring the Bible book list into Slack
A quick catalog request should not turn into a browsing task. Let Notis retrieve all available Bible books from Api bible when someone asks in a channel.

- Use the Api bible catalog as the source of the list.

- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Give one instruction: retrieve the Api bible list of all books when a channel message requests the catalog, then share it in the run report.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real request for the list of Bible books.
