Answer validator ID questions in a DM
A validator ID question does not need a dashboard detour. Notis can look up the specific validator in Beaconchain and respond privately.
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 Validator
Tool to retrieve information for a specific validator from beaconcha.in api.
Why this helps
Small research requests often remain unfinished because they require leaving the conversation to search a separate service.
- Answer identifier questions without a manual dashboard search.
- Keep the response private and close to the request.
- Reduce the mental overhead of remembering to return with the result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beaconchain to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that uses the validator identifier in a Slack DM to retrieve Beaconchain information and replies to the sender.
- 3Select Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a real DM that includes a validator ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will it work if the DM has no identifier?
The Beaconchain action retrieves information for a specific validator, so the request needs to identify one.
Does the answer go to a public channel?
Describe that Notis should reply to the DM sender. Separately choose a channel for run reports.
