Get current exchange rates from a Slack DM
Check current rates from the private conversation where the question came in.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Get Latest Exchange Rates
Tool to get real-time exchange rates for all supported currencies with a specified base currency. Use when you need current exchange rates for currency conversions or financial calculations.
Why this helps
A DM request for rates can become a forgotten task when it requires leaving the conversation to look them up.
- Respond to a clear rate request in context.
- Use a stated base currency for the lookup.
- Reduce forgotten manual checks from DMs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and CurrencyScoop to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to retrieve current rates when a DM explicitly requests them and gives a base currency.
- 3Select Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one DM asking for current rates from a named base.
Questions about this workflow
Does this perform a specific amount conversion?
