Add contact context to Slack email mentions
When a channel conversation surfaces an email address, ask Clearout to look up associated person details and return a concise summary.
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
Reverse Lookup Person by Email
Tool to retrieve a person’s profile from an email address. Use when you want to enrich a valid email with associated person details.
Why this helps
Useful contact context often gets lost when someone has to leave Slack, search manually, then remember to bring the result back.
- Keep contact research connected to the discussion.
- Reduce tab switching for a simple lookup.
- Bring relevant person details back to the team.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Clearout to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to use Clearout's person lookup for email addresses mentioned in the selected channel and summarize the returned details.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received, choose a run-report channel, and test with one real contact email.
Questions about this workflow
Does this find a person without an email?
This Clearout action looks up person information from an email address, so the Slack message needs to contain one.
Can it return the details in Slack?
Tell Notis in the instruction where to share a concise result. Choose a suitable run-report channel when creating the automation.
