Check a quote in your working currency while the vendor discussion is still open.
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
Convert Currency
Tool to perform a single currency conversion from one currency to another for a specified amount. Use when you need to convert a specific amount between two currencies using mid-market rates.
Why this helps
Comparing vendor costs across currencies adds mental arithmetic to an already detailed purchasing decision.
- Compare a stated quote against a chosen working currency.
- Keep pricing context next to the vendor discussion.
- Avoid hand-calculating approximate costs.
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 convert clear vendor quote amounts from Slack into your chosen working currency.
- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real vendor quote showing its amount and currency.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose the destination currency?
Specify the working currency in the plain-language instruction so conversions use the intended destination.
Will it convert vague estimates?
Prompt Notis to act only on messages with a clear amount and source currency.
