Make machine inventory easier to retrieve

When someone asks for a machine inventory in Slack, Notis can list Fly machines and report a compact overview for follow-up.

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

List Machines

Tool to list Fly.io machines using GraphQL API with pagination support. Use when you need to retrieve information about deployed machines including their state, region, and creation time.

Why this helps

Infrastructure inventory requests often become a manual lookup that gets delayed until someone has time to switch contexts.

  • Respond to inventory questions with a current machine list.
  • Reduce manual console navigation for routine lookups.
  • Give operations discussions a shared starting point.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Fly to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation with one instruction to list the relevant Fly machines when an inventory request appears in Slack.
  • 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with a real inventory request and review the returned machine details.

Questions about this workflow

Can this list machines for an organization?

Yes. The instruction can request a machine list scoped to the relevant organization or filters.

Does it change machine state?

No. It retrieves machine information for review.
