Answer organization questions from a Slack DM
Keep a one-to-one question from becoming another open loop. Notis can retrieve the available Dnsfilter organizations and return a concise report.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
List All IP Addresses
Tool to list all user-associated ip addresses. use when you need a comprehensive list of all ip address entries in your organization.
Why this helps
Direct messages are easy to miss when a quick question needs a tool lookup and a later reply.
- Make a DM lookup easy to follow through on.
- Return organization context to support the next step.
- Reduce mental reminders to come back to a one-to-one question.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Dnsfilter to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what to do in plain language.
- 3Describe that direct messages clearly requesting Dnsfilter organization information should retrieve the organization list.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test with one organization question sent by DM.
