When the team asks which custom fields are available, Notis can retrieve the GageList definitions.
Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
Get Custom Fields
Tool to retrieve custom field definitions. Use when you need to list all custom fields configured for both gage and calibration items after authentication.
Why this helps
Questions about record fields can stall a handoff while someone searches for the current setup.
- Make field reference questions easier to answer.
- Reduce interruptions to locate configuration details.
- Help the team use existing record conventions more consistently.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GageList to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for this workflow.
- 3Give one instruction to retrieve custom field definitions only when a Slack message explicitly asks about available fields.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and reporting channel, then test with one real field question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change any custom field values?
No. It retrieves the custom field definitions.
Does it run on any mention of a field?
