Get Docker Hub repository details from a Slack request

Ask about a repository in Slack and have Notis retrieve its Docker Hub details for a quicker answer in context.

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

Get Docker Hub Repository

Tool to retrieve details of a specific Docker Hub repository. Use after confirming namespace and repository name.

Why this helps

Answering a simple repository question can trigger a distracting detour into another service and back.

  • Reduces tool switching for routine repository questions.
  • Keeps the request and response anchored to the same conversation.
  • Makes repository context easier to retrieve when attention is elsewhere.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Docker Hub to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create a plain-language instruction to retrieve Docker Hub details when a channel message asks about a specific repository, then report the result in the conversation.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test by asking for details about a real repository you can access.

Questions about this workflow

What details can this retrieve?

The action fetches details for a specific namespace and repository. Ask Notis to summarize the returned information relevant to the request.

What if the repository name is ambiguous?

Tell the instruction to ask for clarification or avoid a lookup when it cannot identify the intended namespace and repository.
