Make manufacturer lookups easier from Slack

A Slack request for manufacturer information can prompt Notis to retrieve the GageList manufacturer list.

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 All Manufacturers

Tool to retrieve a list of all manufacturers. Use after obtaining a valid access token. Returns manufacturer details including ID, name, contact information, and timestamps.

Why this helps

Repeated vendor lookups interrupt focused work and can lead to different people searching for the same details.

  • Reduce repeated manual searches for supplier details.
  • Make common lookups easier to request in context.
  • Give recurring questions a consistent path.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and GageList once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction to retrieve manufacturer information when a Slack message explicitly requests it.
  • 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and run-report channel, then test with a real supplier lookup request.

Questions about this workflow

Can it retrieve one manufacturer only?

The action retrieves the manufacturer list; phrase the instruction to handle a request for manufacturer information and use the returned details as appropriate.

Does this change manufacturer records?
