Keep database discovery one message away
A direct message can be enough to prompt a quick reference to the Baserow databases available for your work.
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
List Databases
This tool retrieves a list of all databases in a specified workspace. as a fundamental operation, it allows users to discover which databases are available in their baserow workspace. this operation is independent and requires only authentication in order to fetch essential metadata for subsequent operations.
Why this helps
A founder may lose momentum when a simple workspace lookup requires another app, search, and return to the original task.
- Provides a low-friction route to a database inventory.
- Cuts down on app switching for a basic lookup.
- Supports quicker task resumption after a question.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Baserow to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to list Baserow databases when a Slack DM arrives, using a clear instruction for the intended lookup.
- 3Choose the direct message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one real DM and check the database directory in the report.
