Resolve player availability questions from DMs
Ask about a player in a Slack DM and prompt Notis to check available Api sports records.
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 Injuries
Tool to get injured or suspended players. use when you need a list of sidelined players filtered by league, season, fixture, team, player, date, ids, or timezone.
Why this helps
Personal follow-ups in DMs can be easy to forget, especially when an answer requires a separate lookup.
- Turn an availability question into a specific data lookup.
- Reduce manual searching across sports information pages.
- Keep the request connected to its original Slack DM.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api sports to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and give Notis one plain-language prompt to check a named player's injury or suspension details when asked in a DM.
- 3Select Slack Direct Message Received and set the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real DM asking about a player with available records.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run for every DM?
The trigger catches DMs. Write the prompt so Notis acts on relevant player availability requests and ignores unrelated messages.
Can I ask about a team instead of one player?
Yes. The injuries action supports filtering by team as well as by player.
