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
Find Email by Name
Tool to find someone's email using their full name and company domain. use when you have a person's name and domain and need their email address. supports asynchronous search via webhook url.
Why this helps
Research handoffs compete with product work and can disappear when they're tracked only in conversation.
- Turns an explicit handoff into a concrete research step.
- Preserves the conversational context around a lead.
- Reduces open loops during a founder's workday.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Findymail to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis a single instruction to search for the prospect email only on explicit research handoffs containing a full name and domain.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real prospect handoff message.
