Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action

Tool to retrieve starting xi and substitutes for a fixture. use after confirming fixture id; optionally filter by team, player, or section (startxi/substitutes). lineups appear ~20-40 minutes before kickoff for supported competitions.
Why this helps
Repeatedly checking for lineup updates can distract from the workday, especially when kickoff is close.
- Look up starting lineups and substitutes for a specific fixture.
- Reduce repeated manual checks around match time.
- Keep lineup questions attached to the Slack conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Api sports to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe in one plain-language prompt how to retrieve lineups when a channel message asks about a named fixture.
- 3Choose Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a fixture that has lineup data available.
Questions about this workflow
Will lineups always be available?
Lineups appear about 20 to 40 minutes before kickoff for supported competitions, so an earlier lookup may not return them.
Can it look up substitutes too?
Yes. The lineup action can retrieve starting players and substitutes.
