Look up Codemagic group variables from Slack

Answer a variable-group question without breaking away from the setup thread.

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 Variables for Group

Tool to retrieve paginated list of variables for a specific variable group. Use when you need to list or browse environment variables within a variable group.

Why this helps

Preparing an environment can stall while someone hunts for which variables belong to a group.

  • Retrieve the variables associated with a requested group.
  • Keep build setup questions close to their answers.
  • Reduce repeated manual checks during environment preparation.

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 variables for a Codemagic group when a Slack message asks what it contains.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and describe how Notis should identify the group and app.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real group question.

Questions about this workflow

Can the request name the group?

Yes. Include an instruction to use the group named in the Slack message.

Does this change a variable?
