Verify an email address from a Slack DM
Forward the address-check request to a DM with Notis and let Findymail run the verification.
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
Verify Email
Tool to verify the deliverability of an email address. use when you need to confirm that an email can receive messages before outreach.
Why this helps
A direct request to check one address can get lost among personal follow-ups and other messages.
- Provides a natural place to ask for a single check.
- Reduces the chance that a small verification request gets dropped.
- Returns a result without requiring a separate manual lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Findymail to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to verify the email address in a DM that explicitly asks for a check.
- 4Select Slack's direct-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real DM requesting verification of an email.
Questions about this workflow
Will every DM with an email trigger a check?
The instruction should require an explicit request to verify, so an incidental email mention does not start the action.
Does the action confirm that an address belongs to a specific person?
The action checks deliverability of the supplied email address.
