Create an API key from a clear access request
Keep key creation tied to an explicit request, with the resulting secret handled through an approved secure channel.
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 API Key
Tool to create a new api key with specified permissions. use when you have a valid digicert user id and need to generate a new key. note the api key appears only once; save it securely.
Why this helps
Credential setup can require several follow-ups when a request lacks a clear owner or permission scope.
- Anchor key creation to a request that names its user and permissions.
- Reduce back-and-forth to clarify the requested setup.
- Keep the one-time key out of Slack by requiring secure handling.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and DigiCert to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to create a DigiCert API key only for a clearly specified user and permissions after authorization is confirmed; route the one-time key to an approved secure store, never Slack.
- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real, authorized request and confirm secure key handling.
Questions about this workflow
Will the API key appear in Slack?
The one-time key should be handled through an approved secure channel and never posted in Slack.
What information must the request establish?
