Discover Codemagic variable groups from Slack

Look up the app's variable groups where the setup question is already being discussed.

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

List Variable Groups for App

Tool to retrieve paginated list of variable groups for an application. Use when you need to list or browse variable groups associated with a specific app.

Why this helps

Environment setup questions can trigger repeated tool switching and uncertainty about which group applies.

  • Retrieve a list of variable groups for an application.
  • Keep environment discovery close to the setup discussion.
  • Reduce repeat searches when preparing builds.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Codemagic to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to list an app's Codemagic variable groups when a setup question is posted in Slack.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and describe how Notis should identify the application.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real variable-group question.

Questions about this workflow

Does this expose variable values?

This action lists variable groups for an app; it is not the action for listing variables within a group.

Can it help with build preparation?

Yes. It can retrieve which groups are associated with the app when someone asks in Slack.
