Get Appveyor role options in a Slack DM

Keep role discovery simple: ask in a DM and get the Appveyor role catalogue summarized.

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 Roles

Tool to retrieve all roles in the account. use when you need to enumerate available roles before assigning permissions.

Why this helps

A private access question can become a chain of searches and messages when role names are hard to recall.

  • Provides a quick reference for private access planning.
  • Keeps role details alongside the original request.
  • Reduces repeated searches through account settings.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Appveyor to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a named automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
  • 3Describe in one prompt that role questions in Slack DMs should retrieve Appveyor roles and return a concise summary.
  • 4Select the Slack direct message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real role question.

Questions about this workflow

Does this grant access?

No. It lists available roles but does not assign them.

Can the requester ask for one role's details?

This action lists roles. For a specific role detail check, the prompt should make the requested role clear and use the role-detail action instead.
