Check a preset metadata key from Slack

Get a single metadata value without turning a Slack question into a manual inspection task. Share the preset and key names.

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 Preset Metadata Key

Tool to read a single metadata key's value for a Remote Control Preset. Use when you need to fetch a specific metadata entry after listing presets.

Why this helps

Looking up a small configuration detail often takes longer than expected when the key and preset must be found by hand.

  • Read one metadata key from the requested preset.
  • Keep the key and preset names together with the lookup request.
  • Avoid a manual search for a single configuration value.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Epic games to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to read a preset metadata key for Slack requests.
  • 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to use the preset name and key in the message and return the value.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real request for a key on an existing preset.

Questions about this workflow

What must the request identify?

Include both the Remote Control preset name and the exact metadata key.

Can this update the metadata key?

No. This action reads one key's value. Updating or deleting a key uses different Epic actions.
