- 2Ask Notis to retrieve the GenderAPI.io error-code list when the team requests error guidance in Slack.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real troubleshooting request from the team.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis identify the cause of an error?
No. It retrieves the possible error codes so a person can compare them with the actual response.
Can this check remaining credits too?
No. Use the separate usage statistics action for an account-credit check.
