Find Echtpost templates when a mailing idea appears in Slack
Capture the idea while it is fresh. Notis checks Echtpost's available templates and shares the choices in your run report.
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
List templates
This tool retrieves a list of all available templates in the echtpost account. templates serve as the base design for postcards and are essential for creating cards. the action operates independently using only an authentication token and returns detailed template information including id, name, description, preview url, type, and creation time. this action is crucial for viewing templates before creating cards and obtaining the necessary template ids for subsequent actions.
Why this helps
A promising mailing idea can get buried in a busy channel before anyone checks which templates are available.
- Check template availability at the moment a mailing idea is raised.
- Keep the next step visible without leaving the conversation to search manually.
- Give the team a concrete set of options to discuss.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Echtpost to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to make one.
- 3Use a plain-language instruction to retrieve Echtpost templates when a Slack channel message suggests a postcard mailing, then share the results in the run report.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports; test with one real mailing idea.
Questions about this workflow
Will this send a postcard?
No. The available Echtpost action only retrieves template details. The automation can report those options, but it does not create or send a postcard.
Does it respond to messages in direct messages?
No. This workflow uses the Slack channel message trigger, which does not match direct messages.
