Start a Callerapi lookup from a Slack DM
Send a number to Notis in Slack when you need a caller lookup, then review the returned information in the run report.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Get Phone Number Information
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific phone number, including reputation, business and carrier details, and ftc complaints. use when the number is in e.164 format and set hlr=true to include hlr data (adds 1-3 seconds to response).
Why this helps
A quick check can turn into a context-switching loop between chat, a lookup tool, and your notes.
- Start a lookup from a private Slack conversation with Notis.
- Keep the reason for checking a number near the request.
- Review Callerapi information without opening a separate lookup flow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Callerapi to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or from Automations in the portal.
- 3Write one prompt telling Notis to look up an E.164 number when you DM it.
- 4Select Direct Message Received, choose a run-report channel, and test by DMing one real number.
Questions about this workflow
Will it monitor every Slack DM?
The trigger catches DMs across Slack DM channels. Use a clear prompt that tells Notis which messages should start a lookup.
Where do I see the lookup result?
