Start a support call router from a confirmed Slack request
When the team approves a new support line in Slack, let Notis start the Dialpad call router setup while the routing plan is clear.
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
Create call router configuration
Creates a new call router in the dialpad system, allowing for custom call routing logic based on a specified url. this endpoint configures essential settings for the call router, including its name, default target for fallback scenarios, and the routing url for decision-making. it's used when setting up a new automated call distribution system or when implementing custom call routing logic for an office. the call router can be enabled or disabled, and includes an optional security feature through a signature secret. note that this endpoint only creates the call router; additional setup may be required in the dialpad interface or through other api calls to fully integrate it into the calling workflow.
Why this helps
Call routing setup can become a separate technical task after the team has already made the operational decision.
- Connects the support-line decision to the phone setup process.
- Reduces delay between planning and configuration.
- Preserves the routing context close to the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Dialpad to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction that asks Notis to create a Dialpad call router when a support-line request is confirmed, using the approved routing details.
- 4Select Slack's Channel Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with an approved setup request and verify the router configuration in Dialpad.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the router complete all call routing setup?
No. The action creates the router configuration; additional setup may be needed to connect it fully to your call flow.
Can it create a router from a tentative idea?
Use an explicit approval signal in the instruction so only confirmed requests lead to configuration.

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.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Add member to coaching team
Adds a new member to a specific coaching team in dialpad. this endpoint allows you to assign a user to a coaching team with a designated role, enabling effective team management and performance monitoring. use this when you need to include a new coach or trainee in an existing coaching team. the endpoint requires the coaching team id in the url path and the member details in the request body. it's particularly useful for setting up or expanding coaching teams for call center training and quality assurance purposes.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Add operator to call center
This endpoint adds a new operator to a specified call center in the dialpad system. it allows for the configuration of the operator's role, skill level, and license type, as well as managing phone number retention when switching to a support license. use this endpoint when you need to expand your call center team or adjust an existing user's role within the call center. the endpoint is particularly useful for setting up new operators with specific skill levels and roles, which can help in optimizing call routing and management within the call center. note that while adding an operator, careful consideration should be given to the license type and role assigned, as these affect the operator's capabilities and the associated costs.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Add operator to office
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.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
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.
