Check mailing templates after a private Slack request
A private request can start the lookup. Notis retrieves Echtpost's templates and reports the available options for your review.
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 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
Private requests can become easy-to-forget side conversations, especially when they require a separate tool lookup.
- Turn a DM request into a visible template lookup.
- Reduce the need to switch tools just to see available designs.
- Keep the returned options with the automation run for follow-up.
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.
- 3Describe in plain language that a DM asking about postcard or confidential mailing options should retrieve Echtpost templates and report them.
- 4Pick the Slack direct message trigger and a channel for run reports; test with one real request.
