Why this helps
Notification setups can feel uncertain until someone performs a test and checks what happened.
- Start a test call from the existing setup conversation.
- Make webhook checks easier to remember after registration.
- Give the team a concrete test result to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and CastingWords to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that explains which explicit Slack request should start a test call.
- 3Select the channel message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real request for a webhook check and review the run outcome.
Questions about this workflow
Does a test call register a webhook?
No. It requests a test call for the specified event type; webhook registration is a separate action.
When should the test be run?
Use it after a webhook is registered and the team wants to check the notification path.
