Bring the right expert into a live call
If a teammate spots that a live customer call needs an expert, a Slack request can prompt Notis to add that participant to the Dialpad call in progress.
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
Add participant to call
Adds a new participant to an existing call in the dialpad system. this endpoint allows you to include additional members in an ongoing call by specifying either a phone number or a target within your dialpad organization. use this when you need to add someone to a call that is already in progress, such as bringing in an expert or including a manager in a customer service call. the endpoint requires the id of the existing call and the details of the new participant. it's important to note that the target, if used, must have a primary number assigned in the dialpad system.
Why this helps
Finding the right person during a live call creates context switching and can leave the caller waiting.
- Shortens the path from help request to expert joining.
- Reduces the interruption of searching and dialing manually.
- Helps teams resolve a question while the call is active.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Dialpad. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Dialpad actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Access control policies listing
Retrieves a list of access control policies for the authenticated dialpad company. this endpoint allows company administrators to view all custom sets of permissions defined for ai contact center settings. it should be used when auditing existing policies, preparing to assign roles to users, or before creating new policies to avoid duplication. the endpoint provides an overview of all policies but does not include detailed permission sets for each policy. for specific policy details, a separate api call may be required.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add blocked phone numbers
Adds specified phone numbers to the blocked list in dialpad. this endpoint allows users to block unwanted or spam numbers, preventing incoming calls or messages from these numbers. it accepts a list of e.164 formatted phone numbers and adds them to the user's blocked list. this tool should be used when there's a need to block multiple phone numbers at once, enhancing the platform's call and message filtering capabilities. it's particularly useful for maintaining communication hygiene and reducing unwanted interactions. note that this operation is additive; it doesn't replace the existing blocked list but appends to it.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Add department operator by id
Adds a new operator to a specific department in dialpad. this endpoint allows you to assign either a user or a room as an operator, with the option to specify their role. it's used to manage call handling and department operations by adding new operators or updating existing ones with different roles. the department id is specified in the url path. use this when setting up new departments, expanding existing ones, or adjusting operator assignments and roles within a department.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Add member to channel
Adds a new member to a specified channel within the dialpad communication platform. this endpoint allows you to expand the membership of a channel by providing the user id of the person you want to add. it's particularly useful for programmatically managing channel memberships, such as when onboarding new team members or reorganizing communication structures. the endpoint should be used when you need to include a user in a channel's conversations and collaborations. note that this operation only adds the user to the channel; it does not create new users or channels. ensure that both the channel id (specified in the url) and the user id (provided in the request body) exist in your dialpad organization before making this call.

Message Reaction Removed

This endpoint adds a new operator to a specific office within the dialpad system. it allows administrators to assign users or rooms as operators, enhancing the office's communication capabilities. the endpoint requires the office id (specified in the path), the operator's id, and the type of operator (user or room). optionally, the role of the new operator can be set to either standard operator or admin. use this endpoint when you need to expand or modify the operator team for a particular office, ensuring efficient call handling and management within the dialpad platform.
