Retrieve a Specific Datascope List Element

When a teammate has the identifier, make the matching Datascope element easier to inspect without a separate manual lookup.

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

Get List Element

Tool to retrieve a specific element from a metadata list by type and ID. Use when you need to fetch detailed information about a specific list element such as locations, products, or other metadata objects.

Why this helps

A known item ID is not helpful if finding its details still requires a context switch and several clicks.

  • Retrieve a specific element using its type and ID.
  • Turn an identifier in chat into useful reference details.
  • Avoid an unnecessary tool change for a focused lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Datascope to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation through Automations or by asking Notis conversationally.
  • 3Use one prompt to retrieve the Datascope element details when a Slack request includes its type and ID.
  • 4Select the channel message trigger and run-report channel, then test with a real element identifier.

Questions about this workflow

What information does the lookup need?

It needs the metadata list type and the element ID to retrieve the specific element.

Does it update the element?

No. The action retrieves element details and does not edit Datascope data.
