Look up Elorus contacts from Slack
Get a focused contact lookup in the conversation where the question came up, so you can keep moving without opening another tool.
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 Contacts
Tool to retrieve a list of contacts. use after authentication to fetch contacts in batches. example: 'list page 2 of active company contacts sorted by name.'
Why this helps
A quick client lookup can turn into a context switch and a hunt through accounting records.
- Answer client record questions in the Slack thread.
- Reduce interruptions caused by switching into the billing system.
- Return matching records so ambiguous names can be checked.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Elorus to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally for a Slack-to-Elorus contact lookup.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to search Elorus contacts when a Slack message requests a client lookup and report likely matches with enough context to distinguish them.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real client name that returns a known contact.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow change contact records?
No. This workflow uses the Elorus contact lookup action to find and report records.
What if several contacts have similar names?
The instruction can ask Notis to report the matching options and request clarification instead of guessing.
