Check travel budgets across currencies
Ask in a Slack DM and get the budget converted to the currency you use to make decisions.
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
Convert Currency
Tool to convert an amount from one currency to another. Use when you need current or historical exchange rates. Specify `date` for historical rates.
Why this helps
A quick travel cost estimate can turn into a calculator detour when it arrives in a private message.
- Handle a one-off budget conversion without moving the question elsewhere.
- Make converted amounts easier to compare with your working budget.
- Use a current or specified historical rate as appropriate.
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 conversationally to convert budget amounts from Slack DMs.
- 3Write one instruction that identifies the amount, source currency, destination currency, and whether a date is needed.
- 4Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real budget example.
Questions about this workflow
Will this trigger for channel posts?
