Get Eventzilla category options in a private Slack message
A small private lookup can settle category questions before they turn into another open loop.
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 Event Categories
Tool to retrieve event categories available in eventzilla. use when you need to present or choose from available categories before creating or filtering events.
Why this helps
A quick category question can turn into a new browser task and become one more unfinished thread.
- Ask a category question without adding noise to a team channel.
- Retrieve available options while planning.
- Close a small information gap before moving to the next task.
