- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to look up currency symbols mentioned in Slack DMs.
- 3Provide one plain-language prompt asking Fixer for the supported symbol and full name relevant to the question.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real symbol question.
