Add a current node check to Slack decisions
When a decision depends on node status, Notis can fetch Beaconchain health and return the current state in the discussion.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Get Node Health
Tool to get the health status of the node. use when you need to check if the node is ready, syncing, or in an error state.
Why this helps
A decision can stall when status is needed but checking it becomes a separate task amid other founder priorities.
- Get current health information where a decision is underway.
- Reduce context-switching between discussion and monitoring.
- Give teammates the same status to reference.
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 checks Beaconchain node health when a Slack message requests node status for a decision and replies in that discussion.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a real decision that needs a node health check.
Questions about this workflow
Does this make the decision for the team?
No. It provides the node health status requested so the team can make its own decision.
Can it retrieve validator information too?
This workflow uses Get Node Health. A specific validator lookup is a separate action.
