Get fixture details from a Slack direct message
A match question in a Slack DM can prompt Notis to look up the relevant fixture.
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 Fixtures
Tool to retrieve football fixtures/matches. use when filtering fixtures by id, date, league, season, team, or date ranges to get upcoming or past matches.
Why this helps
Useful schedule questions can sit in private messages and get lost when you return to other tasks.
- Give private match questions a consistent lookup path.
- Reduce the chance of forgetting a schedule follow-up.
- Search fixture records from the details already in the DM.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api sports to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to retrieve fixtures when a DM asks about a match schedule.
- 3Choose Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test by sending a real DM that names teams, competition, or date context.
