Trigger

Action
List Coins
Tool to retrieve list of all available coins/cryptocurrencies in CoinMarketCal database. Use when you need to fetch coin information including IDs, names, symbols, and event counts.
Why this helps
A private ticker question can become a slow, manual search if the right directory is not already open.
- Uses CoinMarketCal's list to check names and symbols.
- Reports event counts alongside possible matches.
- Captures private clarification requests without a separate task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and CoinMarketCal to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction asking Notis to search the CoinMarketCal coin list for the name or ticker in a DM and report possible matches and event counts.
- 4Select the Slack direct message received trigger, pick the run-report channel, and test with a real ticker question.
Questions about this workflow
What if the ticker has several possible matches?
The report can show multiple possible directory matches for the user to distinguish.
Does the coin directory return event counts?
