Get current rates when your team asks
Turn a Slack question about exchange rates into a quick lookup of the latest rates for the requested currencies.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Get Latest Rates
Tool to retrieve the most recent exchange rates. Use when you need current currency conversion rates for all or specified currencies.
Why this helps
Currency questions can become open loops when no one has time to search for current figures.
- Retrieve current rates for the requested currency set.
- Reduce the urge to switch tools to answer a simple FX question.
- Give the team a consistent source for current rate lookups.
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 look up current rates requested in Slack channel messages.
- 3Write one instruction that says which currencies to retrieve and how Notis should report the result.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger, select a run report channel, and test with a real rate question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this provide every available currency rate?
The instruction can ask for the currencies named in the Slack message or specify a set of currencies.
Are the results historical?
This uses Get Latest Rates for the most recent rates, not a historical date.
