Focus on positive on-chain metrics from Slack
When a team question is about positive net flow or values above a threshold, Notis can apply a metric filter in the Bitquery query and focus the result.
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
Select By Metric
Tool to generate a graphql metric snippet filtering by its value using selectwhere. use when you need to include only metrics meeting specific value conditions (e.g., only positive sums).
Why this helps
Reviewing every record when only positive or above-threshold activity matters adds noise and makes follow-up harder.
- Focus the query on the metric condition that matters.
- Cut unrelated records from a threshold-based review.
- Make the criterion explicit in the Slack request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bitquery to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to filter Slack-requested Bitquery metrics by their stated condition.
- 3Use one prompt: When a channel message requests positive net flow or a metric above a stated threshold, query the named chain and asset using Bitquery select by metric and summarize the matching results and condition.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger and set a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real request that states a metric and threshold.
Questions about this workflow
What does select by metric do?
It filters a query by a metric value using selectwhere, such as including only values that meet a stated condition.
Can I ask for negative values too?
Yes. State the relevant condition and threshold in the request so the query can filter accordingly.
Does this aggregate or filter records?
The action filters by metric value. Choose a separate aggregation when the question asks for a total, count, or distribution.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Bitquery. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Bitquery actions
Recurring trigger
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.
