Get project table context from a direct message
A direct message can prompt a quick reference to project tables, helping you continue the conversation without a separate search.
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 Tables in Database
This tool lists all tables within a specified baserow database. it allows users to retrieve information about all tables in a database by using the get /api/database/{database id}/tables/ endpoint. the expected output is an array of table objects containing details such as id, name, order, database id, type, and first row header.
Why this helps
Project structure questions often interrupt a founder's current task to open another tool and find the right table.
- Keeps a structure lookup connected to the question that prompted it.
- Helps founders return to their current work sooner.
- Makes available project tables easier to reference.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Baserow to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to list tables in the project Baserow database when a Slack DM arrives.
- 3Pick the direct message trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 4Send a real project structure question by DM and review the result.
