Check the details of a Bible version

When the team needs metadata for a version it already identified, let Notis retrieve the Api bible details from Slack without a separate lookup.

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

Get Bible by ID

Tool to retrieve details of a specific bible version by its id. use when you need full metadata after listing versions. example prompt: 'get metadata for bibleid de4e12af7f28f599-01'.

Why this helps

Version details can be hard to track when the team has to leave a discussion to confirm them.

  • Resolve metadata questions for a specific version ID.
  • Keep reference details near the discussion that prompted them.
  • Avoid repeating a manual version lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Api bible to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve full Api bible metadata when a channel request provides a version ID.
  • 4Select Channel Message Received and pick the run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a real supported version ID.
