Count contract activity from Slack
Ask how often a contract appeared in on-chain activity, with the network and period in the message. Notis can run a Bitquery count query for a quick, focused answer.
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
Count Metric
Tool to use the count metric to aggregate the number of records matching a graphql query. use when you need simple record counts.
Why this helps
Estimating activity by scanning records takes attention away from decisions and makes comparisons easy to forget.
- Get a simple activity count for a defined period.
- Avoid manual tallying across on-chain records.
- Keep the question and its result connected to the team conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bitquery to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to count contract activity requested in Slack.
- 3Write one prompt: When a channel message asks for a contract activity count and includes its network, address, and period, query Bitquery using the count metric and summarize the count.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and select a reporting channel.
- 5Test with a real request for a specific contract and time window.
Questions about this workflow
What does the count metric return?
It aggregates the number of records matching the query. The requested contract, network, and time period determine what is counted.
Is this a unique-wallet count?
No. A simple count counts matching records. Use a distinct count when the request is for unique values.
Can I request a comparison?
Yes. State the periods or categories to compare in the Slack request so Notis can interpret the intended query.

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Aliases Metric
Tool to use graphql aliases to rename fields in the response for clarity and disambiguation. use when you need to query multiple metrics with identical field names in one call.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Archive Database Query
Tool to query the archive database. use when you need full historical blockchain data (delayed by tens of minutes to hours).
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Combined Database Query
Tool to query the combined database, which merges archive and real-time databases. use when you need both historical and up-to-the-second blockchain data in one request.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Conditional Metrics Snippet
Tool to generate a graphql metric snippet with conditional logic. use when you need to apply filters directly on metric calculations via the `if` attribute.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Count Distinct Metric
Tool to use the count distinct metric to aggregate unique values for a field. use when you need to count the number of unique occurrences in a dataset.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Count Metric
Tool to use the count metric to aggregate the number of records matching a graphql query. use when you need simple record counts.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Database Selection
Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Early Access Program Query
Tool to access streaming data across various blockchain networks for evaluation purposes. use when querying chains not available via the v2 endpoint; limited to real-time data only.
