Check Finding Categories from a Slack DM
A private question about how to categorize a finding can get a consistent reference from Datascope without an extra search.
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 Ticket Types
Tool to retrieve available ticket types (findings types) from the DataScope system. Use when you need to access the list of ticket type configurations.
Why this helps
Unclear finding categories can delay reporting and leave the person asking to track down the answer later.
- Retrieve configured ticket types on demand.
- Give a direct reference for categorization questions.
- Reduce follow-up caused by uncertainty about available categories.

- 2Create an automation with a name that describes category lookups.
- 3Use one plain-language prompt to retrieve Datascope ticket types for a DM question about finding categories.
- 4Select the direct message trigger and a report channel, then test with one real question.
