Investigate a currency change flagged in Slack
Mark the message that needs context and check the rate movement over the dates it names.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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
A potentially important currency move can be noticed without anyone taking the next research step.
- Make the follow-up to a flagged change explicit.
- Compare rates between the relevant dates.
- Focus on the pair that the message discusses.
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 rate fluctuations when a Slack message gets a designated reaction.
- 3Write one instruction that uses the message's currency pair and date range.
- 4Choose Message Reaction Added as the trigger, optionally filter by reaction or channel, choose a report channel, and test with a dated example.
Questions about this workflow
What if the message has no dates?
The instruction should rely on a clear date range in the message; otherwise the requested comparison may be underspecified.
Can this show daily rates?
The fluctuation action compares two dates. Use Get Time Series for daily rates across a date range.
