Check DPD connectivity from Slack
Before digging into a suspected DPD issue, ask in Slack for a quick API ping and get a run report from Notis.
Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
DPD: Ping API
Tool to ping the api to check its status. use when verifying api connectivity before further operations.
Why this helps
Uncertainty about whether DPD is reachable can prompt repeated checks and unnecessary troubleshooting.
- Run a DPD API connectivity check when a teammate requests one.
- Give the team a fast signal before investigating further.
- Reduce repeated manual ping checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Dpd2 to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to ping DPD when a Slack channel message requests a connectivity check.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how to report the ping result.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real Slack request for a DPD status check.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping confirm every DPD feature works?
A ping checks API status; it does not validate every DPD operation or account setting.
Can I ask for the check during troubleshooting?
Yes. A channel message can request the ping when the team needs a quick connectivity signal.
