Trigger

Action
Get Location
Tool to retrieve a specific location by ID. Use when you need detailed information about a particular warehouse location including its name, quantity, and notes.
Why this helps
Checking a particular warehouse can become a detour when its details are not already in the discussion.
- Focus a location lookup on the warehouse named in the question.
- See its quantity and notes together.
- Keep location checks grounded in the Slack request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and BoxHero to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to retrieve quantity and notes for the BoxHero location named in a Slack question.
- 3Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a channel message naming an existing warehouse location.
Questions about this workflow
Can it compare multiple locations?
The Get Location event retrieves one specific location. Ask Notis to look up each named location if a comparison is needed.
What if the location name is ambiguous?
Include an instruction for Notis to clarify which location the team means before summarizing.
