Sum token transfer volume from Slack
Ask for the total transferred amount over a defined window. Notis can use Bitquery's sum metric so you do not need to inspect and add records by hand.
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
Sum Metric
Tool to calculate the sum of a specified field's values across defined dimensions. use when you need to aggregate total values in a dataset.
Why this helps
Adding individual transfers manually is slow and makes it harder to spot the broader movement relevant to a decision.
- Aggregate transfer amounts in one query.
- Keep the requested asset and period explicit.
- Skip manual addition across transaction records.
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 tell Notis to sum transfer amounts requested in Slack.
- 3Use one prompt: When a channel message asks for a token's total transfer amount and specifies the network, token, and period, query Bitquery with the sum metric and report the aggregate with its scope.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test using a real token and time-window request.
Questions about this workflow
What does the sum metric do?
It calculates the sum of a specified field across the query's defined dimensions.
Should the request specify token units?
Name the token and network and ask Notis to report the queried amount with the scope clear. If you need a particular measure, state it in the request.
Does a sum explain who transferred tokens?
A sum provides an aggregate. Ask for a separate transaction or wallet breakdown if that is also needed.

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.
