Check vendor currencies from Slack with Fixer
Get the current exchange rate when a vendor quote appears in Slack, so you can assess the cost without breaking your focus to look it up.
Trigger

Action
Get Latest Exchange Rates
Tool to get real-time exchange rate data for all available or specified currencies. use when you need current forex rates before performing currency conversions.
Why this helps
A foreign-currency quote can derail a founder into a separate rates search before they can decide what to do next.
- Check current rates from the conversation where the quote appeared.
- Reduce context-switching before responding to a vendor.
- Keep a quick reference available in the chosen run-report channel.
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 conversationally to check vendor currencies mentioned in Slack.
- 3Use one plain-language prompt asking Notis to retrieve the latest rate for a clearly identified quote currency.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real vendor quote.
Questions about this workflow
Does this convert the quote into my home currency?
This workflow retrieves the latest exchange rates. Ask Notis in the prompt to use the rate for a specific base and quote currency and report the equivalent when the needed amount and currencies are present.
Will it run on direct messages?
No. This workflow uses the Slack channel message trigger, which does not match direct messages.
