Search delivery records from a Slack DM
Keep a one-off delivery question out of busy channels. Notis can search Detrack from the details you send by Slack DM.

Why this helps
A small private lookup can still break concentration when it requires a separate login and a manual search.
- Handle individual delivery questions without adding noise to a channel.
- Search from the context already available in a DM.
- Get relevant matches in the run report for easy reference.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to search Detrack when you send a Slack DM asking about a delivery.
- 3Select the Slack Direct Message Received trigger and choose the run-report channel.
