Correct a Countdown request from Slack
Fix a research request where the correction was spotted, with enough context to identify the request and intended change.
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
Update Single Request
Tool to modify parameters of an existing request in a collection. Use when the collection is not running and you need to update eBay Product Data API parameters.
Why this helps
A small request correction can linger when switching tools and finding the right entry feels like extra admin.
- Make clear corrections close to where they are noticed.
- Reduce rework from an outdated request.
- Keep request maintenance from becoming a separate task pile.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Countdown api to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt instructing Notis to update one identified request only when the collection is not running and the Slack message clearly states the correction.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with a known request in a non-running collection.
Questions about this workflow
What can this action modify?
It modifies parameters of an existing request in a collection that is not running.
