Why this helps
Payment details often arrive while a founder is handling several other decisions, making extra lookup steps easy to postpone.
- Bring current rate context into contractor payment discussions.
- Reduce manual lookup steps when processing payment details.
- Keep rate checks tied to the message that prompted them.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Fixer to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to check contractor payment currencies in Slack.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to retrieve the latest rate for the payment currency and relevant comparison currency.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one real payment discussion.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow make the contractor payment?
No. It retrieves exchange rate information from Fixer. Payment execution remains a separate step.
What if the message leaves out the currency?
Ask Notis in the prompt to report when the message does not identify the currency clearly, so you can fill in the missing context.
