Understand how a foreign subscription changed
Use the dates in a DM to see how the exchange rate moved for a recurring software cost.
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
Get Currency Fluctuations
Tool to fetch exchange rate fluctuations between two dates. Use when you need day-to-day currency rate changes.
Why this helps
Small recurring expenses are easy to overlook, while currency changes can make their real cost less predictable.
- Compare exchange-rate movement across two review dates.
- Make an overseas subscription cost easier to discuss.
- Support a focused keep, switch, or review conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Fixer io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to compare currency fluctuations for subscription questions received by DM.
- 3Write one instruction telling Notis to use the currency pair and dates in the DM.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with a real cost question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this compare the subscription's actual price changes?
No. It compares exchange rates between dates; the subscription's billed amount is separate information.
What does the DM need to include?
Include the currency pair and the two dates to compare.
